On or before August first, annually, the commissioner shall render to each insurance company or other entity liable to assessment under section 38a-49 or 38a-50 a statement of the total cost of examinations or valuations, as the case may be, for the preceding fiscal year ending June thirtieth, together with proposed assessments against each of the several such companies and other entities. On September first annually, the commissioner, after receiving any objections to the proposed assessments and making such changes as in his opinion may be indicated, shall assess each such insurance company or other entity for the costs of examinations and valuations. Each such insurance company or other entity shall pay to the commissioner the amount assessed against it within twenty days from date of invoice, with interest at the rate of six per cent per annum if the assessment is unpaid at the end of such twenty-day period. The commissioner shall deposit such receipts with the State Treasurer. On and after June 6, 1991, the moneys so deposited with the State Treasurer shall be credited to the Insurance Fund established under section 38a-52a and shall be accounted for as expenses recovered from insurance companies.
