New Mexico Statutes Chapter 59A. Insurance Code § 59A-15-13. Action by superintendent

A. If within thirty (30) days following the giving of the notice provided for in Section 267 of the article the insurer has not ceased such dissemination, and if the superintendent has reason to believe that such insurer is soliciting, issuing or delivering contracts of insurance to residents of this state or collecting premiums on such contracts or performing any other transaction in connection with such insurance, and that a proceeding by him in respect to such matters would be to the interest of the public, he shall take action against such insurer under the provisions of Section 262 of the article (service of process on unauthorized insurer).

B. If upon such hearing the superintendent finds that the insurer has misrepresented as referred to in Section 267 of the article, he shall by order on such hearing require the insurer to cease and desist from such violation, and shall mail a copy of the order by registered or certified mail to the insurer at its principal place of business last of record with the superintendent, and to the insurance supervisory officer of the insurer's domiciliary state, country or province. Each violation thereafter of such desist order shall subject the insurer to a penalty of two thousand dollars ($2,000), to be recovered by a civil action brought against the insurer by the superintendent. Service of process upon the insurer in such action may be made upon the superintendent pursuant to Section 262 of this article or in any other lawful manner.
