California Code, Insurance Code - INS § 1780.60

(a) If there is good cause to believe that the surplus line advisory organization's noncompliance with any provision of this chapter is willful, or if within the period prescribed by the commissioner in the notice required by subdivision (a) of Section 1780.59 the advisory organization does not make the changes necessary to correct the noncompliance specified by the commissioner or establish to the satisfaction of the commissioner that noncompliance does not exist, then the commissioner may hold a hearing in connection therewith, provided that within a reasonable period of time, which shall not be less than 30 days before the date of the hearing, the commissioner shall mail written notice specifying the matters to be considered at the hearing to the advisory organization. The notice shall conform to the requirements for an accusation as prescribed by Section 11503 of the Government Code. If no notice has been given as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 1780.59, notice shall be given as to the manner and extent of noncompliance that is alleged to exist.

An order under this subdivision may, if necessary, also direct the advisory organization to preserve documents and records and to grant immediate access by the commissioner's authorized representatives to the advisory organization's premises to examine and make copies of any and all unprivileged documents and records of the advisory organization maintained on behalf of the commissioner pursuant to this chapter. Within five days after issuing an order under this subdivision, the commissioner shall issue the notice and shall thereafter hold the hearing under subdivision (a) of this section, provided, however, that:
