North Dakota Code 6-01-17.2 – Additional assessment of banks and interstate branches
If the commissioner determines that more than one visit, inspection, or examination is necessary to promote the safety and soundness of a state banking association or a branch of an out-of-state state bank during a twelve-month period, the state banking association or branch shall pay to the state treasurer a fee for the time used by the commissioner or other person designated by the commissioner in supervising, filing, and corresponding in connection with each additional visit, inspection, or examination and report of examination and for time used by each deputy examiner, or other person in making and otherwise preparing and typing the reports of examination herein provided for. Fees for the visit, inspection, or examination must be charged by the department of financial institutions at an hourly rate to be set by the commissioner, sufficient to cover all reasonable expenses of the department associated with the visit, inspection, or examination provided for by this section. A state banking association or branch of an out-of-state state bank shall pay such assessment or fee within ten days of receiving a billing from the commissioner. Fees must be deposited in the financial institutions regulatory fund. The state treasurer shall report the payments of fees to the commissioner, and if any corporation or institution or branch is delinquent more than twenty days in making the payment, the board may make an order suspending the functions of the delinquent corporation or institution or branch until payment of the amount due. The commissioner may assess a penalty of five dollars a day additional for the delay. The state banking board may waive or postpone the collection of this special assessment if the assessment would place an undue burden on the state banking association or branch.
