Sec. 12. (a) An eligible person may assign to the attorney general the eligible person's right to pursue a cause of action for the tortious breach of an insurer's duty to deal with an insured person in good faith.
(b) If the insurance commissioner believes that a person has engaged in any of the acts or practices listed in IC 27-4-1-4.5 in relation to an occurrence, the insurance commissioner may issue and cause to be served upon the person a statement of the charges and a notice in writing of a hearing as provided in IC 27-4-1-5. If after a hearing under IC 4-21.5-3, the insurance commissioner determines that the person has engaged in any of the acts or practices listed in IC 27-4-1-4.5 in relation to an occurrence, the insurance commissioner may at the insurance commissioner's discretion order one (1) or more of the remedies provided in IC 27-4-1-6. Notwithstanding IC 27-4-1, the insurance commissioner may take an action under this subsection regarding the commission by a person of a single act or practice listed in IC 27-4-1-4.5 in relation to an occurrence, without having to demonstrate that the act or practice occurs with such frequency as to indicate a general practice by the person.
