An insurer is responsible for compliance with the annuity consumer protections act. If a violation occurs, either because of the action or inaction of the insurer or its producer, the director may order:

1. (1) An insurer to take reasonably appropriate corrective action for any consumer harmed by a failure to comply with this regulation by the insurer, by an entity contracted to perform the insurer’s supervisory duties, or by the producer;
2. (2) A general agency, an independent agency, or the producer to take reasonably appropriate corrective action for any consumer harmed by the producer’s violation of this regulation; and
3. (3) Appropriate penalties and sanctions.
