        515A.18  HEARING PROCEDURE AND JUDICIAL REVIEW.
         1.  Any person, insurer or rating organization to which the
      commissioner has directed an order made without a hearing may, within
      thirty days after notice to it of such order, make written request to
      the commissioner for a hearing thereon.  The commissioner shall hear
      such party or parties within twenty days after receipt of such
      request and shall give not less than ten days' written notice of the
      time and place of the hearing.  Within fifteen days after such
      hearing the commissioner shall affirm, reverse or modify the previous
      action, specifying the commissioner's reasons therefor.  Pending such
      hearing and decision thereon the commissioner may suspend or postpone
      the effective date of the commissioner's previous action.
         2.  Nothing contained in this chapter shall require the observance
      at any hearing of formal rules of pleading or evidence.
         3.  Judicial review of the actions of the commissioner may be
      sought in accordance with the terms of the Iowa administrative
      procedure Act, chapter 17A.
         The court shall determine whether the filing of the petition for
      such writ shall operate as a stay of any such order or decision of
      the commissioner.  The court may, in disposing of the issue before
      it, modify, affirm or reverse the order or decision of the
      commissioner in whole or in part.
