(a) The expense of every regular examination, together with the expense of administering the banking and savings and loan laws, including salaries, travel expenses, supplies and equipment shall be paid by the banks and savings and loan associations of the state. Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the commissioner shall make an estimate of the expenses to be incurred by the department during such fiscal year. From this total amount, the commissioner shall deduct the estimated amount of the anticipated annual income to the fund from all sources other than bank and savings and loan association assessments. The commissioner shall allocate and assess the remainder to the banks and savings and loan associations in the state on the basis of their total assets, as reflected in the last March 31 report called for by the federal deposit insurance corporation under the provisions of section 7 of the federal deposit insurance act, 12 U.S.C. § 1817 or K.S.A. 17-5610, and amendments thereto, except that the annual assessment will not be less than $1,000 for any bank or savings and loan association. (b) (1) The expense of every regular trust examination, together with the expense of administering trust laws, including salaries, travel expenses, supplies and equipment, shall be paid by the trust companies and trust departments of banks of this state. Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the commissioner shall make an estimate of the trust expenses to be incurred by the department during such fiscal year. The commissioner shall allocate and assess the trust departments in the state on the basis of their total fiduciary assets, as reflected in the last December 31 report called for by the federal deposit insurance corporation under the provisions of section 7 of the federal deposit insurance act, 12 U.S.C. § 1817 or K.S.A. 17-5610, and amendments thereto, except that the annual assessment shall not be less than $1,000 for any active trust department. The commissioner shall allocate and assess the trust companies in the state on the basis of their fiduciary assets as reflected in the last December 31 report filed with the commissioner pursuant to K.S.A. 9-1704, and amendments thereto, except that the annual assessment will not be less than $1,000 for any active trust company. A trust department or trust company which has no fiduciary assets, as reflected in the last December 31 report called for by the federal deposit insurance corporation under the provisions of section 7 of the federal deposit insurance act, 12 U.S.C. § 1817 or K.S.A. 17-5610, and amendments thereto, may be granted inactive status by the commissioner and the annual assessment shall not be more than $100 for the inactive trust department. (2) No inactive trust department or trust company shall accept any fiduciary assets or exercise any part of or all of its trust authority until such time as it has applied for and received prior written approval of the commissioner to reactivate its trust authority. (c) (1) A statement of each assessment made under the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) shall be sent by the commissioner on July 1 or the next business day thereafter, to each bank, savings and loan association, trust department and trust company that exists as a corporate entity with the secretary of state's office and is authorized by the commissioner to conduct banking, savings and loan or trust business. The assessment may be collected by the commissioner as needed and in such installment periods as the commissioner deems appropriate, but no more frequently than monthly. When the commissioner issues an invoice to collect the assessment, payment shall be due within 15 days of the date of the invoice. The commissioner may impose a penalty upon any bank, savings and loan association, trust department or trust company which fails to pay its annual assessment when it is 15 days or more past due. The penalty shall be assessed in the amount of $50 for each day the assessment is past due. (2) The commissioner shall remit all moneys received from such examination fees to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury and credit 10% of each deposit to the state general fund with the balance transferred to the bank commissioner fee fund. All expenditures from the bank commissioner fee fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the commissioner or by a person or persons designated by the commissioner. (d) The amount of expenses incurred and the cost of service performed on account of any bank, trust department or trust company or other corporation which are outside the normal expenses of an examination required under the provisions of K.S.A. 9-1701 or 17-5612, and amendments thereto, shall be charged to and paid by the bank, trust department, trust company or corporation for which such expenses were incurred or cost of services performed.
