Title 33, Chapter 40, Section 17
( 33-40-17)
The Commissioner is authorized to make use of any of the powers
established under this title to enforce the laws of this state so
long as those powers are not specifically preempted by the federal
Product Liability Risk Retention Act of 1981, as amended by the Risk
Retention Amendments of 1986. This includes, but is not limited to,
the Commissioner's administrative authority to investigate, issue
subpoenas, conduct depositions and hearings, issue orders, and
impose penalties. With regard to any investigation, administrative
proceedings, or litigation, the Commissioner can rely on the
procedural law and regulations of this state. The injunctive
authority of the Commissioner in regard to risk retention groups is
restricted by the requirement that any injunction be issued by a
court of competent jurisdiction. |
