(a) Market conduct actions taken as a result of a market analysis shall focus on the general business practices and compliance activities of insurers, rather than identifying infrequent or unintentional random errors that do not cause consumer harm.
(b)(1) The commissioner is authorized to determine the frequency and timing of such market conduct actions. The timing shall depend upon the specific market conducted action to be initiated, unless extraordinary circumstances indicating a risk to consumers require immediate action.
(2) If the commissioner has information that more than one insurer is engaged in common practices that may violate statute or regulations, he or she may schedule and coordinate multiple examinations simultaneously.
(c) The insurer shall be given an opportunity to resolve such matters that arise as a result of market analysis to the satisfaction of the commissioner before any additional market conduct actions are taken against the insurer. If the insurer has modified such practice or procedure as a result of a market conduct action taken by the commissioner of another state, the commissioner shall accept appropriate documentation that the insurer has satisfactorily modified the practice or procedure and made similar modification to such practice or procedure in this state. The commissioner may require other or additional practice or procedure modifications as are necessary to achieve compliance with specific state laws or regulations, which differ substantially from those of the state conducted examination.
