Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 15, April 8, 2022
a) Whenever the Commission finds that an
insurer, self-insurer, claims service or other association, or an agent of one
of these entities, is practicing a policy of unfairness toward the claimant in
the handling and processing of claims under the Workers' Compensation or
Occupational Diseases Act, the Commission may issue a Rule to Show Cause why
the carrier or agent should not be suspended from writing insurance or
processing workers' compensation claims within the State.
b) The recipient of the Rule to Show Cause
shall be entitled to be informed of the charges against it and to have an
evidentiary hearing on the merits of the charges. The recipient shall have the
right to be present, to call witnesses, and to provide other pertinent
evidence.
c) After a full hearing,
the Commission may invoke appropriate sanctions against the recipient as
authorized by statute, specifically including citation (i.e., submission) to
the Attorney General for action on any violation of the law or certification to
the Director of Insurance for discipline of license.
