The supervision fee shall be calculated as of December 31. The fee shall be paid on or before the March 1 following the asset computation. For failure to pay the supervision fee when due, unless excused for cause by the director, the credit union shall pay to the division fifty dollars ($50.00) for each day of its delinquency. The director may prescribe lower supervision fees by regulation and in determining those fees, he may use criteria other than the total assets of the credit union paying the fee.
E. If at any time the director deems it necessary to examine a credit union more than once in any calendar year and if the credit union is determined to have violated the Credit Union Act or other state laws or federal laws or regulations, the credit union shall pay to the director reimbursement of the actual costs of that examination or those examinations.
