26-12-303. Enforcement by commissioner; penalty for violation.
(a) If within thirty (30) days following the giving of the notice specified in W.S. 26-12-302 the insurer has not ceased dissemination of any false advertising, and if the commissioner believes that the insurer is soliciting, issuing or delivering contracts of insurance to residents of this state or collecting premiums on those contracts or performing any other transaction in connection with that insurance, and that a proceeding by him in respect to those matters would be in the public interest, he shall take action against the insurer under W.S. 26-13-117.
(b) If pursuant to the proceeding the commissioner finds that the dissemination of false advertising is continuing, he shall order the insurer to desist therefrom and shall mail a copy of the order by certified or registered mail to the insurer at its principal place of business last of record with the commissioner and to the insurance supervisory official of the insurer's domiciliary state or province. Each violation after mailing of the desist order subjects the insurer to a penalty of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00), to be recovered by a civil action the commissioner brings against the insurer. Service of process upon the insurer in the action may be made upon the commissioner pursuant to W.S. 26-12-202 and 26-12-203 or in any other lawful manner.
