Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies
(a) An insurer is responsible for compliance with sections 38a-432a-1 to 38a-432a-8, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. If a violation occurs, either because of the action or inaction of the insurer or its insurance producer, the commissioner may order:
(1) an insurer to take reasonably appropriate corrective action for any consumer harmed by the insurer's, or by its insurance producer's, violation of sections 38a-432a-1 to 38a-432a-8, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies; and
(2) a general agency, independent agency or an insurance producer to take reasonably appropriate corrective action for any consumer harmed by the insurance producer's violation of sections 38a-432a-1 to 38a-432a-8, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
(b) Any applicable penalty of the Connecticut General Statutes for a violation of sections 38a-432a-1 to 38a-432a-8, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies may be reduced or eliminated at the discretion of the commissioner, if corrective action for the consumer was taken promptly after a violation was discovered or the violation was not part of a pattern or practice. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to limit the commissioner's authority to terminate or suspend a producer or insurer's license or to pursue other legal or regulatory action pursuant to the insurance laws of the state of Connecticut.
