CHAPTER 9

STATE INSURANCE FUND

72-919. Actions for collection in case of default -- Penalty -- Cancelation of policy. If an employer shall default in any payment required to be made by him to the state insurance fund, the amount due from him shall be collected by civil action against him in the name of the manager, and it shall be the duty of the manager forthwith to bring or cause to be brought against each such employer a civil action in the proper court for the collection of such amount so due; and the same, when collected by the manager shall be paid into the state insurance fund, and such employer’s compliance with the provisions of this chapter requiring payment to be made to the state insurance fund shall date from the time of the payment of said money so collected to the manager.

The policy of insurance held by an employer who fails to comply with reasonable requirements established by the manager, or who is in default in his premium payments for more than thirty (30) days may be canceled at the discretion of the manager.

An employer who is in default for 10 days in payment of any premium shall also be liable to a penalty for every day during which such failure continues of $1.00 for every employee, to be recovered in an action brought by the manager and the amounts so collected shall be paid into the state insurance fund.

The manager may, however, in his discretion, for good cause shown, remit any such penalty in whole or in part, provided the employer in default subsequently pays the premium.
