Section 3 CCR 702-4-1-4-10 - Violations and PenaltiesA. Any failure to comply with this regulation shall be considered a violation of § 10-3-1104(1)(a), C.R.S. Examples of violations include, in part: 1. Any deceptive or misleading information set forth in sales material;2. Failing to ask the applicant in completing the application the pertinent questions regarding the possibility of financing or replacement;3. The intentional incorrect recording of an answer;4. Advising an applicant to respond negatively to any question regarding replacement in order to prevent notice to the existing insurer; and/or5. Advising a policy or contract owner to write directly to the insurer in such a way as to attempt to obscure the identity of the replacing producer or insurer.B. Policy and contract owners have the right to replace existing life insurance policies or annuity contracts after indicating in or as a part of applications for new coverage that replacement is not their intention; however, patterns of such action by policy or contract owners of the same producer shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the producer's knowledge that replacement was intended in connection with the identified transactions, and these patterns of action shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the producer's intent to violate this regulation.C. Where it is determined that the requirements of this regulation have not been met, the replacing insurer shall provide to the policy owner an in-force illustration, if available, or policy summary for the replacement policy or available disclosure document for the replacement contract and the appropriate notice regarding replacements in Appendix A or Appendix C of this regulation.D. Violations of this regulation shall subject the violators to penalties that may include the revocation or suspension of a producer's license or the insurer's certificate of authority, monetary fines and the forfeiture of any commissions or compensation paid to a producer as a result of the transaction in connection with which the violations occurred. In addition, where the Commissioner has determined that the violations were material to the sale, the insurer may be required to make restitution and restore policy or contract values.37 CR 11, June 10, 2014, effective 7/1/201437 CR 12, June 25, 2014, effective 7/15/2014Colorado Register, Vol 37, No. 14.
