Delaware Code Title 18. Insurance Code § 2530. Penalties

(a) The Commissioner may, if he or she finds that any person or organization has violated this chapter, impose a penalty of not more than $500 for each such violation, but if he or she finds such violation to be wilful, he or she may impose a penalty of not more than $1,000 for each such violation in addition to any other penalty provided by law.

(b) The Commissioner may suspend the license of any rating organization or insurer which fails to comply with his or her order within the time limited by the order or any extension thereof granted by the Commissioner.  The Commissioner shall not so suspend a license for failure to comply with an order until time prescribed for appeal therefrom has expired or, if appealed, until such order has been affirmed.  The Commissioner may determine the period of a suspension, and it shall remain in effect for such period unless he or she modifies or rescinds the suspension or until the order upon which the suspension is based is modified, rescinded or reversed.

(c) No penalty shall be imposed and no license shall be suspended or revoked except upon a written order of the Commissioner stating his or her findings, made after a hearing held upon not less than 10 days’ written notice to such person or organization specifying the alleged violation.

(d) Any party aggrieved by an order or decision of the Commissioner may, within 30 days after Commissioner's notice, make written request for hearing thereon pursuant to § 2507 of this title.
