33-9-28. Conduct of hearing by Commissioner upon failure to correct noncompliance; notice of hearing; matters considered at hearing

If the Commissioner has good cause to believe the noncompliance to be willful, or if within the period prescribed by the Commissioner in the notice required by Code Section 33-9-27 the insurer, organization, group, or association does not make the changes necessary to correct the noncompliance specified by the Commissioner or establish to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the specified noncompliance does not exist, then the Commissioner may hold a public hearing in connection with the noncompliance, provided that within a reasonable period of time, which shall be not less than ten days before the date of the hearing, he shall mail written notice specifying the matters to be considered at the hearing to the insurer, organization, group, or association. If no notice has been given as provided in Code Section 33-9-27, the notice provided for in this Code section shall state to the extent practicable in what manner such noncompliance is alleged to exist. The hearing shall not include any additional subjects not specified in the notices required by Code Section 33-9-27 or this Code section.
