(d) The commissioner may suspend or revoke the license of any advisory or service organization or insurer, failing or refusing to comply with an order of the commissioner within the time limit prescribed by such order, or any extension thereof which the commissioner may grant.

(e) The commissioner may determine when a suspension of license shall become effective and it shall remain in effect for the period fixed by the commissioner, including an indefinite period, unless such suspension is modified or rescinded or until the order upon which such suspension is based is modified, rescinded or reversed.

(f) No penalty shall be imposed and no license shall be suspended or revoked except upon a written order of the commissioner, stating the findings made after a hearing.

(g) The penalties applicable under this section are in addition to any other penalties applicable under this title. (Added 1983, No. 238 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 1995, No. 167 (Adj. Sess.), § 18.)
