Sec. 6.2. (a) A member insurer that wishes to protest all or part of an assessment made under section 6 of this chapter shall pay when due the full amount of the assessment as set forth in the notice provided by the association. The payment is available to meet association obligations during the pendency of the protest or a subsequent appeal. Payment must be accompanied by a statement in writing that the payment is made under protest and set forth a brief statement of the grounds for the protest.
(b) Not more than sixty (60) days after the payment of an assessment under protest by a member insurer, the association shall notify the member insurer in writing of the association's determination with respect to the protest (unless the association notifies the member insurer that additional time is required to resolve the issues raised by the protest).
(c) Not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of notice of the association's determination with respect to a protest, the protesting member insurer may appeal the determination to the commissioner.
(d) Instead of making a determination with respect to a protest based on a question regarding the assessment base, the association may refer the protest to the commissioner for a determination, with or without a recommendation from the association.
(e) If a protest of an assessment is upheld, the amount paid by the protesting member insurer in error or excess must be returned to the member insurer. Interest on a refund due to a protesting member insurer must be paid at the rate actually earned by the association.
