The failure of a charitable organization to comply with the notice requirements imposed under Code Section 33-58-3 or Code Section 33-58-4 does not prevent a charitable gift annuity that otherwise meets the requirements of this chapter from constituting a qualified charitable gift annuity. The Commissioner may enforce performance of the requirements of Code Section 33-58-3 or Code Section 33-58-4 by sending a letter by certified mail, or statutory overnight delivery, return receipt requested, demanding that the charitable organization comply with the requirements of such Code sections. The Commissioner may fine the charitable organization in an amount not to exceed $1,000.00 per qualified charitable gift annuity agreement issued until such time as the charitable organization complies with such Code sections.
