(a) The Insurance Commissioner in his or her discretion may suspend or revoke the certificate of authority of any insurer or health maintenance organization that fails to report and pay the premium tax levied under 26-57-604 and 26-57-605 on the date due or during any reasonable extension of time which may have been expressly granted by the commissioner for good cause upon the insurer's request.

(b) In addition, any insurer or health maintenance organization that fails to report or pay the tax when due shall be subject to a penalty of one hundred dollars ($100) for each day of the delinquency.
