(A) Claims made against the fund pursuant to § 40-6-340, must be heard by the commission and if ordered, must be paid in accordance with § 40-6-360. Subject to commission approval, a claim may be compromised; however, the commission is not bound by the compromise or any stipulation of the licensee.

(B) Upon payment of a claim, the license of the person against whom the claim was made must be suspended immediately or revoked, as the commission determines. The licensee must not be issued another license until he repays the fund the monies paid on the claim against him, including interest at the rate of eight percent a year. Nothing in this section prevents the commission or any other authority from pursuing other remedies at law or equity.
