The commissioner may, after notice, suspend the eligibility of a member insurer or the license of a surplus lines agent that fails to pay an assessment or policy surcharge under section 6 of this act when due, or any interest accruing thereon, or fails to comply with the applicable provisions of the plan of operations. The commissioner may, after notice and hearing in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), withdraw the eligibility of that insurer or suspend or revoke the surplus lines agent's license.
Interest shall be charged on the amount of the unpaid assessment or surcharge subject to the provisions of this section. The interest charge shall be at the current market rate of interest, using an index or indexes to be selected by the commissioner, and shall be payable at the time the unpaid assessment or policy surcharge is paid to the fund.
Eligibility of a surplus lines insurer or the license of an agent shall not be restored or reissued until all monies owing under this section have been paid to the fund.
