27-14-806. Experience rating manipulation; penalties.
(a) A person who knowingly, or with deliberate ignorance or reckless disregard of the true facts or the requirements of this act, violates or attempts to violate the requirements of W.S. 27-14-207 or any other provision of this act related to determining the assignment of a premium rate, or who advises another to violate the requirements of W.S. 27-14-207 or any other provision of this act related to determining the assignment of a premium rate, shall be subject to the following penalties:
(i) A person who is an employer shall be assigned, for the rate year during which the noncompliance or misrepresentation occurred and for the following three (3) rate years, the highest base rate within the industry classification assigned during that year under the division's rate filing. If the person's business is already at the highest rate for any year, or if the amount of increase in the person's rate would be less than two percent (2%) for that year, then a penalty rate of two percent (2%) shall be imposed for that year. This penalty may exceed the maximum assignable rate;
(ii) In addition to the penalty imposed pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection, any violation or attempted violation of W.S. 27-14-207 or any other provision of this act related to determining the assignment of a premium rate may be prosecuted as a felony punishable by a fine of not more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), imprisonment for not more than five (5) years, or both.
