(a)  Suspension of license.- Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, if the Commission pays a claim against the Fund based on an act or omission of a contractor, the Commission may suspend the contractor license until the contractor reimburses the Fund in full for: 

(1) the amount paid from the Fund; and 

(2) interest on that amount at an annual rate of at least 10%, as set by the Commission.
