Any person who willfully violates a cease and desist order of the commissioner under Section 83-5-41, after it has become final, and while such order is in effect, shall, upon proof thereof to the satisfaction of the court, forfeit and pay to the commissioner for the use of the public schools of the county or counties in which the act or acts complained of occurred, a sum to be determined by the commissioner not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for each violation, which if not paid may be recovered in a civil action instituted in the name of the commissioner in a court of competent jurisdiction in the county of the residence of such person who is a resident of the state. In the case of a nonresident, the action shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Hinds County.
In addition to or in lieu of the penalty set out above, the commissioner may revoke or suspend the license of such person to transact the business of insurance in this state, but from any order of the commissioner revoking or suspending such license, there shall be a right of appeal therefrom to the circuit court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County in the manner provided by law.
