The Corporation Commission shall, upon being reasonably satisfied that any corporation has violated the provisions of this act, recommend to the Attorney General that a receiver be appointed for such corporation. Upon receipt of the recommendation by the Attorney General, he shall within ten (10) days file a petition on behalf of the state in any court of competent jurisdiction, praying that a receiver be appointed, and such court shall immediately consider the application and appoint a receiver, if in the judgment of the court the provisions of this act have been willfully violated. The receiver, when appointed, shall immediately take charge of all the business, property and assets of such corporation in the state and shall retain possession thereof until it shall be determined upon the trial whether or not such corporation has violated the provisions of this act, then, in addition to the other penalties herein provided, all the property of said corporation shall be retained under such receivership until the penalties incurred hereunder are paid, after which the receivership may be discharged upon such terms and conditions as the court may impose as an assurance for the further compliance with this act.
