No corporation of the state shall transfer any of its stock standing in the name of or belonging to a resident decedent or in joint names of such a decedent and one or more persons, or in trust for a resident decedent, unless notice of the time of the intended transfer be served upon the state tax commissioner at least ten days prior to the transfer, nor until the commissioner consents thereto in writing.
A corporation making such a transfer without first obtaining the consent of the state tax commissioner thereto shall be liable for the amount of any tax which may thereafter be assessed on account of the transfer of such stock, together with interest thereon, and in addition it shall be liable to a penalty of one thousand dollars. Such liability to pay the tax and interest and penalty prescribed may be enforced in an action at law in the name of the state, and, when recovered, the same shall be paid into the treasury for the use of the state.
