CHAPTER 12 - WYOMING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACT ARTICLE 1 IN GENERAL
9-12-1310. Decertification; certification of compliance.

(a) The council shall conduct an annual review of each Wyoming small business investment company to determine if each Wyoming small business investment company is abiding by the requirements of this article and to ensure that no investment has been made in violation of this article. The cost of the annual review and other determinations under this article including certifications requested under W.S. 9-12-1307(j) and subsection (c) of this section shall be paid by each Wyoming small business investment company according to a fee schedule adopted by the council sufficient to cover actual direct and indirect costs of the review or certification.

(b) Any material violation of this article, including any material misrepresentation made to the council in connection with the application process, is a basis for decertification of a Wyoming small business investment company and the disallowance of credits under W.S. 9-12-1305, provided that in all instances the council shall provide notice to the Wyoming small business investment company of the grounds of a proposed decertification and the opportunity to cure any violation of this article before the decertification becomes effective.

(c) A Wyoming small business investment company may request that the council certify that the company has invested an amount cumulatively equal to one hundred percent (100%) of its designated capital in qualified investments as provided in W.S. 9-12-1307 and has complied with all other requirements provided under this article. Upon a request under this subsection, the council shall notify a Wyoming small business investment company not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of a request under this subsection:

(i) That it has achieved certification under this subsection; or

(ii) That it has not met the requirements of this article, provide a reason for the determination that the company has been determined not to have met the requirements of this article and decertify the company if applicable under subsection (b) of this section.

(d) If the council certifies a Wyoming small business investment company under subsection (c) of this section, the company shall no longer be subject to regulation by the council and shall not be subject to the reporting requirements under W.S. 9-12-1308. If the council does not provide notification within the sixty (60) day period as required in subsection (c) of this section, the Wyoming small business investment company shall be deemed to be certified as provided in subsection (c) of this section.

(e) The council shall provide written notice of any decertification proceedings under this section to the insurance commissioner and to the address of each participating investor whose tax credit may be subject to recapture or forfeiture, using the address shown on the last filing submitted to the council.
