b.The commissioner may suspend or revoke, after notice and hearing, the certificate of authority to transact business in this State of any member organization which fails to pay an assessment when due or fails to comply with the plan of operation.  As an alternative, the commissioner may levy a penalty on any member organization which fails to pay an assessment when due.  That penalty shall not exceed five percent of the unpaid assessment per month, but no penalty shall be less than $100 per month.
