    The Department of Commerce staff may investigate on the 
 request of any person or on its own initiative the acts of the 
 rating association, an insurer, or an agent that are subject to 
 provisions of chapter 79 and may make findings and 
 recommendations that the commissioner issue an order requiring 
 compliance with the provisions thereof.  The proposed findings 
 and recommended order shall be served on all affected parties at 
 the same time that the staff transmits its findings and 
 recommendations to the commissioner.  Any party adversely 
 affected by the proposed findings and recommended order may 
 request that a hearing be held concerning the issues raised 
 therein within 15 days after service of the findings and 
 recommended order.  This hearing shall be conducted as a 
 contested case pursuant to sections 14.001 to 14.69.  If a 
 hearing is not requested within the time specified in this 
 section, the proposed findings and recommended order may be 
 adopted by the commissioner as a final order.
