Colorado Revised Statutes Title 10. Insurance § 10-3-238. Refunds

Whenever it appears to the satisfaction of the commissioner that, because of some mistake of fact, error in calculation, or erroneous interpretation of a statute of this or any other state, any insurer or other person engaged in the business of insurance in this state has paid to the commissioner or to the state of Colorado, pursuant to any provision of this title (except article 15) and article 14 of title 24, C.R.S., any taxes, fees, or other charges in excess of the amount legally chargeable against said insurer or other person during the one-year period immediately preceding the discovery of such overpayment, the commissioner has the authority to refund to such insurer or other person the amount of such excess by applying the amount thereof toward the payment of taxes, fees, or other charges already due, or that may thereafter become due, from such insurer or other person until such excess has been fully refunded; or, at the commissioner's discretion, the commissioner may make a cash refund thereof.
