An itemized statement of the expenses so ascertained shall be open to public inspection in the office of the chairman for thirty days after notice to all carriers by publication, before an assessment may be made upon such carriers as hereinafter provided. 3. The expenses of administration, including such expenses for preparation, for the fiscal years ending March thirty-first, in the year of and the year following the enactment of this chapter shall be consolidated and reimbursed by one assessment made after April first, in the year following the year of enactment of this chapter. The chairman shall as soon as practicable after April first, in the year following the year of enactment of this chapter, assess upon and collect from each carrier the proportion of such consolidated expenses for the fiscal years ending March thirty-first, in the year of and the year following the enactment of this chapter, and annually thereafter as soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal year the proportion of such expenses for the preceding fiscal year, that the total indemnity benefit payments made by such carrier in such year bore to the total indemnity benefit payments made by all insurance carriers.

The board shall keep an accurate record of all hearings held. Where the decision of a referee is affirmed by the board upon review, the board shall assess against each insurance carrier seeking such review the sum of twenty-five dollars and may assess against any other party the sum of five dollars.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision three of this section, the chair may require that partial payments for expenses of the fiscal year beginning April first, in the year of the enactment of this chapter, and for each fiscal year thereafter, shall be made on June thirtieth, September thirtieth, December thirty-first and March tenth of each year, or on such other dates as the director of the budget may prescribe, by each insurance carrier, including the state insurance fund.

The balance of assessments for the fiscal year beginning April first, in the year of the enactment of this chapter and each fiscal year thereafter, shall be paid upon determination of the actual amount due in accordance with the provisions of subdivision three of this section. Any overpayment of annual assessments resulting from the requirements of this subdivision shall be refunded or at the option of the chair shall be applied as a credit against the assessment of the succeeding fiscal year. The requirements of this subdivision shall not apply to those carriers whose estimated annual assessment is less than one hundred dollars and such carriers shall make a single payment of the estimated annual assessment on or before September thirtieth of the fiscal year. 8.
