correction. If the society fails to comply with such request, the
Commissioner shall notify the society of such findings of
noncompliance and require the society to show cause on a date named

action should not be commenced, the Commissioner may present the
facts relating thereto to the Attorney General who shall, if he or
she deems the circumstances warrant, commence an action to enjoin
the society from transacting business or an action in the nature of
quo warranto.

been corrected;
2. The costs of such action shall have been paid by the society
if the court finds that the society was in default as charged;
3. The court has dissolved its injunction; and
4. The Commissioner has reinstated the certificate of
authority.
D. If the court orders the society liquidated, it shall be
enjoined from carrying on any further business, whereupon the
receiver of the society shall proceed at once to take possession of
the books, papers, money and other assets of the society and, under
the direction of the court, proceed forthwith to close the affairs
of the society and to distribute its funds to those entitled.
E. No action under this section shall be recognized in any
court of this state unless brought by the Attorney General upon
request of the Commissioner. Whenever a receiver is to be appointed
for a domestic society, the court shall appoint the Commissioner as
the receiver.

Commissioner, action by the Attorney General at the request of the
