The department shall furnish such forms prior to the end of the year for which the fees are payable.

(3) The director shall rescind or refuse to reissue the license of any association which fails to remit the administrative fee in conformity with the provisions of this section. Prior to rescinding such license, the director shall issue an order to the association directing the association to show cause why such rescission should not be made. The director shall give not less than ten days’ notice of a rescission hearing before the department. Should the company be aggrieved by such determination, an appeal may be taken, and the appeal shall be in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
