Whenever it appears to the Commissioner that any insurer subject to this act or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof has engaged in any transaction or entered into a contract which is subject to Section 6 of this act and which would not have been approved had the approval been requested, the Commissioner may order the insurer to cease and desist immediately any further activity under that transaction or contract. After notice and hearing the Commissioner may also order the insurer to void any contracts and restore the status quo if the action is in the best interest of the policyholders, creditors or the public.D. Whenever it appears to the Commissioner that any insurer or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof has committed a willful violation of this act, the Commissioner may submit such information to the district attorney for Oklahoma County for appropriate action against the insurer or the responsible director, officer, employee or agent thereof. Any insurer which willfully violates this act may be fined not more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). Any individual who willfully violates this act may be fined in his or her individual capacity not more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) or be imprisoned for not more than one (1) to three (3) years or both.E. Any officer, director or employee of an insurance holding company system who willfully and knowingly subscribes to or makes or causes to be made any false statements or false reports or false filings with the intent to deceive the Commissioner in the performance of his or her duties under this act, upon conviction shall be imprisoned for not more than five (5) years or fined One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) or both. Any fines imposed shall be paid by the officer, director or employee in his or her individual capacity.F. Whenever it appears to the Commissioner that any person has committed a violation of Section 3 of this act which prevents the full understanding of the enterprise risk to the insurer by affiliates or by the insurance holding company system, the violation may serve as an independent basis for disapproving dividends or distributions and for placing the insurer under an order of supervision in accordance with Article 18 of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes.Added by Laws 2017, c. 350, § 13, emerg. eff.
