Florida Statutes Title XXXVII. Insurance § 626.99272. Cease and desist orders and fines

(1) The office or department as appropriate may issue a cease and desist order upon a person that violates any provision of this part, any rule or order adopted by the commission, office, or department, or any written agreement entered into with the office or department.

(2) When the office or department finds that such an action presents an immediate danger to the public which requires an immediate final order, it may issue an emergency cease and desist order reciting with particularity the facts underlying such findings. The emergency cease and desist order is effective immediately upon service of a copy of the order on the respondent and remains effective for 90 days. If the office or department begins nonemergency cease and desist proceedings under subsection (1), the emergency cease and desist order remains effective, absent an order by an appellate court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to s. 120.68, until the conclusion of proceedings under ss. 120.569 and 120.57.

(3) The office or department may impose and collect an administrative fine not to exceed $10,000 for each nonwillful violation and $25,000 for each willful violation of any provision of this part.
