Each organization shall file an annual report with the Insurance Commissioner on or before March 15 of each year in a form as the Commissioner may require, showing the name of the financial institution holding the cemetery merchandise trust fund and the amount of the trust fund under each contract on the preceding December 31, and also showing the method of determination of the wholesale costs made pursuant to Section 7126 of this title. The total required deposits to the cemetery merchandise trust fund during the year shall also be reported. Each cemetery is responsible for maintaining satisfactory books and records, which will adequately justify all information contained in the annual report required by this section. Any organization which has discontinued the sale of prepaid cemetery merchandise, but which still has funds deposited in a cemetery merchandise trust fund or surety, shall not be required to obtain a renewal of its permit, but it shall continue to make annual reports to the Commissioner until all the funds have been disbursed pursuant to the Cemetery Merchandise Trust Act. A filing fee of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) shall accompany each report. If any officer of any organization fails or refuses to file an annual report, or fails or refuses to cause it to be filed within thirty (30) days after the organization has been notified by the Commissioner that the report is due and has not been received, the officer shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished as prescribed in Section 7134 of this title.
