Sec. 6. (a) On or before the fifth day of each month, every depository that had public funds on deposit with it during the preceding month shall: (1) file with the board for depositories a certified report under oath showing for the preceding month the amount of the assessment base and the amount of the monthly assessment due the insurance fund, as determined under section 5 of this chapter; and (2) pay the insurance fund the amount of the monthly assessment it is required to certify. The board for depositories may waive all or part of the reporting requirement under this section during any period when the board does not levy an assessment.

This amount may be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action by the state on the relation of the board for depositories. (c) The state board of accounts, with the approval of the attorney general, shall prepare and prescribe the forms of reports required by this section.
