17:29AA-20 - Suspension of rating organization's license;  notice; hearing;   order of commissioner

17:29AA-20.  Suspension of rating organization's license;  notice; hearing;   order of commissioner
    Any rating organization which knowingly violates any provision of this act shall be subject to suspension of its license.  Failure of a rating organization to comply with the provisions of any order of the commissioner within the time limited by the order, or any extension thereof as the commissioner may grant, shall, if no proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ has  been taken for review of the order, automatically suspend the license of the  rating organization.  No order suspending a license because of a violation of  any provision of this act shall be made by the commissioner, except upon 10  days' notice to the rating organization, specifying the particular violation.   If the rating organization shall make a request therefor in writing within the  10-day period, the commissioner shall name a time and place for a hearing, at  which the rating organization shall be given opportunity to make its defense.   At the conclusion of the hearing, the commissioner shall make such order as in  his judgment the evidence shall warrant.  A suspension of a license shall be  effective until modified or rescinded by order of the commissioner upon proof  that the violation of the provisions of this act no longer continues, or upon  proof that the rating organization has complied with the terms of any prior  order made by the commissioner, or until the order of the commissioner upon  which the suspension is based is reversed or modified upon a review thereof by  a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ.
