TITLE 26 - INSURANCE CODE
CHAPTER 2 - THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
26-2-112. Enforcement of code and orders; injunctions; penalty for violation of orders.
(a) The commissioner, upon the advice of and through the attorney general, may invoke the aid of the courts through injunction or other proper process to enforce any proper order he makes or action he takes.
(b) If the commissioner has reason to believe that any person has violated any provision of this code, or any provision of other law applicable to insurance operations, for which criminal prosecution is provided and would be in order, he shall give the information relative thereto to the attorney general or to the district attorney for the county having jurisdiction of the violation. The attorney general or district attorney shall promptly institute any action or proceedings against the person as in his opinion the information requires or justifies.
(c) In addition to any other applicable penalty, any person who violates a lawful order of the commissioner, upon proof thereof to the court's satisfaction, shall pay to this state a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), or if the violation is found to be willful, a sum not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000.00). Any penalty may be recovered in a civil action against the violator.
