§ 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.
