The commissioner, as soon as possible after providing for insurance coverage against any indirect loss or loss of property belonging to the state, a political subdivision, an international peace garden, or a winter show, shall certify to the insured the amount of premium or assessment due. The certificate must give the name of the insured, the amount of insurance written thereon, and the amount of the premium or assessment, and if applicable, the location and description of the insured property. The proper officer shall remit to the commissioner the amount of the premium or assessment within sixty days after the date of the certification. The commissioner shall deposit the premiums and assessments with the state treasurer to the credit of the fund. If the premiums or assessments are not paid within sixty days after the date on which they are certified, collection thereof may be enforced by appropriate action. The attorney general and the state’s attorney of the relevant county shall bring appropriate actions to enforce the collections of the premium and assessment upon request of the commissioner. An enforcement judgment obtained under this section must include a rate of six percent interest per annum. Payment of the premiums or assessments certified pursuant to this section may be made by any state department, officer, board, institution, or agency and by any political subdivision, out of any available funds, notwithstanding that no specific appropriation or tax levy has been made therefor.
