Section 3848 - Civil remedies, penalties, and enforcementIn addition to any other civil and administrative remedies, penalties, and enforcement authority provided for by law:
(1) A violation of this subchapter or of a rule or order adopted or issued under this subchapter, including the commission of a fraudulent life settlement act, shall constitute an unfair trade practice under chapter 129 of this title (Insurance Trade Practices) and shall be subject to the remedies, penalties, and enforcement authority provided for in chapter 129 of this title. The Commissioner may report any violation of this subchapter to the Attorney General, who may prosecute therefor if he or she deems desirable.(2) The Commissioner may issue a cease and desist order upon a person that violates any provision of this subchapter, any rule or order adopted or issued by the Commissioner, or any written agreement with a licensee entered into with the Commissioner.(3) When the Commissioner finds that an activity in violation of this subchapter or of a rule or order adopted or issued by the Commissioner presents an immediate danger to the public that requires an immediate final order, the Commissioner may issue an emergency cease and desist order reciting with particularity the facts underlying the findings. The emergency cease and desist order is effective immediately upon service of a copy of the order on the respondent and remains effective for 90 days. If the Commissioner begins nonemergency cease and desist proceedings, the emergency cease and desist order remains effective absent a petition by the respondent and an order by a Superior Court of Washington County vacating the Commissioner's emergency order.(4) A Commissioner's order under this subsection may require a person found to be in violation of this subchapter to make restitution to persons aggrieved by violations of this subchapter or to take further actions necessary to remedy violations of this subchapter.Added 2009 , No. 53, § 1, eff. 1/1/2010.
