in connection with the solicitation of health insurance or pharmacy benefit management

plan of solicitation is materially misleading or deceptive, the Commissioner shall
order the company or the agent or broker using such copy or practice or plan to cease
and desist from such use. (2) Before making any such finding and order, the Commissioner shall give notice, not
less than 10 days in advance, and a hearing to the company, agent, or broker affected. (3) If the Commissioner finds, after due notice and hearing, that any authorized insurer,
licensed pharmacy benefit manager, licensed insurance agent, or licensed insurance
broker has intentionally violated any such order to cease and desist, the Commissioner
may suspend or revoke the license of such insurer, pharmacy benefit manager, agent,
