The Texas Department of Insurance issued on Friday
a list of disciplinary
actions taken by Insurance Commissioner Elton Bomer that became final
during
April. Included are 10 agent license revocations and fines totaling
$1,010,000.
(The fines include the previously announced $1 million penalty imposed
on the Kaiser Permanente health maintenance organization.)
Copies of Bomer's orders may be obtained by
calling the Public Information
Office (512-463-6425).
Cases in which the victims were senior citizens
are marked by an asterisk
next to the summary description of the violation for which an agent or
company was disciplined. Only final orders are listed. An order
imposing
disciplinary measures becomes final 20 days after the agent or
insurance
company has received notice of the order unless a motion for rehearing
is filed within that period. A motion for rehearing stays the finality
of an order until the Commissioner acts upon the motion or upon the
operation
of law. Commissioner's orders are subject to appeal to state district
court.
Summaries of the orders are as follows:
