CHAPTER 2
THE DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
41-232A. Hearings upon the denial, nonrenewal, suspension or revocation of a certificate of authority or license or imposition of administrative penalties. (1) In the event the director denies an applicant’s application for a certificate of authority or for a license, the director shall notify the applicant in writing of the basis for the denial. Within twenty-one (21) days of the issuance of the notice of denial, the applicant may submit to the director a written request for a hearing before the director or his duly appointed representative addressing the basis for the denial of the application and requesting that the director reexamine the applicant’s qualifications for a certificate of authority or a license. An applicant’s failure to request a hearing in writing within twenty-one (21) days of the issuance of the notice of denial shall be deemed a waiver of the opportunity for hearing.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in title 41 and chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code, prior to the director’s nonrenewal, suspension or revocation of a certificate of authority or license or imposition of any administrative penalty, the director shall provide the insurer or licensee, and any appointing insurers that have appointed the licensee as an agent, with advance written notice of the nature of the violations alleged or the charges pending against the insurer or licensee and affording the insurer or licensee an opportunity for a hearing thereon. Within twenty-one (21) days of the issuance of the notice of violations or charges, the insurer or licensee may submit to the director a written request for a hearing before the director or his duly appointed representative addressing the alleged violations and charges pending against the insurer or licensee. An insurer’s or licensee’s failure to request a hearing or otherwise dispute the notice in writing within twenty-one (21) days of the issuance of the notice of violations or charges shall be deemed a waiver of the opportunity for hearing.
(3) All hearings under this section shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions set forth in this chapter and chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code.
