§ 10-3-522 — Duties of agents

(1) Every person who receives notice in the form
prescribed in section 10-3-521 that an insurer which the person represents as an

provide to the liquidator, in addition to the information such person may be required
to provide pursuant to section 10-3-506, all information in the agent's records

or if the agent has had in the agent's possession a copy of the declarations of the
policy at any time during the life of the policy, except where the ownership of the
expiration of the policy has been transferred to another.

(2) Any agent failing to provide information to the liquidator as required in
subsection (1) of this section may be subject to a penalty of not more than one
thousand dollars and, in addition, any licenses of any such agent may be suspended.
Such penalty or suspension, or both, shall be imposed only after a hearing held by
the commissioner.
