        516E.3  FILING AND FEE REQUIREMENTS.
         1.  Service companies.
         a.  A service contract shall not be issued, sold, or offered
      for sale in this state unless a true and correct copy of the service
      contract, and the service company's reimbursement insurance policy,
      if applicable, have been filed with the commissioner by the service
      company.
         b.  A service company shall file a consent to service of
      process on the commissioner, and such other information as the
      commissioner requires, annually with the commissioner no later than
      the first day of August.  If the first day of August falls on a
      weekend or a holiday, the date for filing shall be the next business
      day.  In addition to the annual filing, the service company shall
      promptly file copies of any amended documents if material amendments
      have been made in the materials on file with the commissioner.  If an
      annual filing is made after the first of August and sales have
      occurred during the period when the service company was in
      noncompliance with this section, the commissioner shall assess an
      additional filing fee that is two times the amount normally required
      for an annual filing.  A fee shall not be charged for interim filings
      made to keep the materials filed with the division current and
      accurate.  The annual filing shall be accompanied by a filing fee
      determined by the commissioner which shall be sufficient to defray
      the costs of administering this chapter.
         c.  A service company shall promptly file the following
      information with the commissioner:
         (1)  A change in the name or ownership of the service company.
         (2)  The termination of the service company's business.
         The service company is not required to submit a fee as part of
      this filing.
         2.  Providers.
         a.  A provider shall file a consent to service of process on
      the commissioner, a notice with the name and ownership of the
      provider, and such other information as the commissioner requires,
      annually with the commissioner no later than August 1.  If August 1
      falls on a weekend or a holiday, the date for filing shall be the
      next business day.  In addition to the annual filing, the provider
      shall promptly file copies of any amended documents if material
      amendments have been made in the materials on file with the
      commissioner.  If an annual filing is made after August 1 and sales
      have occurred during the period when the provider was in
      noncompliance with this section, the commissioner shall assess an
      additional filing fee that is two times the amount normally required
      for an annual filing.  A fee shall not be charged for interim filings
      made to keep the materials filed with the division current and
      accurate.  The annual filing shall be accompanied by a filing fee in
      the amount of one hundred dollars.
         b.  A provider shall promptly file the following information
      with the commissioner:
         (1)  A change in the name or ownership of the provider.
         (2)  The termination of the provider's business.
         A provider is not required to submit a fee as part of this filing.
