Sec. 5. (a) As used in this section, "assets" means the assets of a financial institution as disclosed by a report made by the financial institution at the end of the year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which a fee is fixed under this section.
(b) The department shall fix and collect, on an annual basis, a schedule of fees for the services rendered and the duties performed by the department in the administration of financial institutions.
(c) The fees may not exceed the comparative cost to the department in the administration of financial institutions. In determining the costs, the department may classify the assets of financial institutions and fix fees at different rates for the examination, supervision, regulation, and liquidation of the classes of assets, based on the proportionate cost and expense incurred by the department in making examinations and in the administration of financial institutions.
(d) The fees shall be charged and collected until changed or modified by the department. A change or modification of fees may not be adopted more often than one (1) time each state fiscal year. A modified schedule of fees is effective on the first day of the state fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the modification is adopted.
(e) Administrative charges included in the fee are in addition to charges collected under other statutes.
(f) If the reasonable costs of performing an examination of a financial institution exceed the fees established under this section, the financial institution shall pay the excess costs not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from the department. The department may impose a fee, in an amount fixed by the department under this section, for each day that the excess costs are not paid, beginning on the first day after the thirty (30) day period described in this subsection.
