  • Sentencing an individual to incarceration following a departmental investigation into unauthorized insurance transactions.Violates the separation of powers doctrine, as the Department lacks the jurisdiction to adjudicate criminal guilt or impose criminal penalties.
  • Ordering a domestic insurer to alter its statutory reserving practices after discovering deficiencies during a financial examination.Represents a core administrative duty focused on monitoring solvency and ensuring the ongoing ability to pay policyholder claims.
  • Unilaterally enacting a new insurance statute to mandate specific coverages for emerging cyber liability risks.Exceeds the Department's authority, as regulatory agencies are restricted to administering and enforcing laws passed by the legislative branch.
