Every state banking association and banking institution under the jurisdiction and control of the commissioner and the commissioner's deputy examiners by this title, including the Bank of North Dakota and every branch of an out-of-state state bank, shall pay a semiannual assessment. This assessment is to be determined by the state banking board as necessary to fund that portion of the department's budget relating to the regulation of state-chartered banks and branches of out-of-state state banks, including the authority to enter cooperative fee sharing agreements and assessment of associated travel costs with other state bank supervisors. Fees for the examination of a trust department must be computed in accordance with section 6-05-28. The assessment must be paid to the department of financial institutions within thirty days of each June thirtieth and December thirty-first. If any such corporation or institution or branch is delinquent more than twenty days in making such payment, the board may seek other administrative remedies of such delinquent corporation, institution, or branch until payment of the amount due. The commissioner may assess a penalty of one percent of the outstanding assessment fee for each day that the assessment fee is delinquent. All fees and penalties under this section must be deposited with the state treasurer and deposited in the financial institutions regulatory fund.
