Limitation on compensation, fees or commissions
Official statutory text
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to pay
or to receive more than fifteen per cent (15%) of the price received
or paid for the equity security of any insurer as compensation for
services, fees or commissions related directly or indirectly to the
organization and promotion of the insurer and for the issuance or
sale of the equity security of the insurer. In addition to any
other penalty which may be applicable thereto, either under the
Insurance Code or otherwise, violation of this section shall
constitute a misdemeanor and shall be punishable as such where no
greater penalty is provided therefor. In addition thereto, any
person, firm or corporation that pays or receives in excess of the
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 36. Insurance Page 1062
said fifteen per cent (15%) for such purposes shall be liable to the
insurer for an amount double such excess. Suit to recover such
excess may be instituted at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction by the insurer or by the owner of any equity
security of the insurer in the name and in behalf of the insurer if
the insurer shall fail or refuse to bring such suit within sixty
days after request or shall fail diligently to prosecute the same
thereafter. If no suit to recover such profit is so filed within
six months following the date such profit was realized or accrued or
if at any time such suit is not diligently prosecuted, the Insurance
Commissioner may file or prosecute such suit for and on behalf of
the insurer at the expense of the insurer.
