HRS §431K-9
Commissioner's enforcement powers for risk retention and purchasing groups
This section gives the insurance commissioner the same enforcement powers as under other state insurance laws, unless federal law overrides them. The commissioner can investigate, hold hearings, issue orders, and impose penalties. Any court order stopping a risk retention group must come from a court, and penalties go into a state fund.

The statute, as written — Administrative and procedural authority regarding risk retention groups and purchasing groups
The commissioner is authorized to make use of any of the powers established under chapter 431 to enforce the laws of this State as long as those powers are not specifically preempted by the Product Liability Risk Retention Act of 1981, 15 U.S.C. §3901 et seq., as amended by the Risk Retention Amendments of 1986, P.L. 99-563. This includes, but is not limited to, the commissioner's administrative authority to investigate, issue subpoenas, conduct depositions and hearings, issue orders, and impose penalties. With regard to any investigation, administrative proceedings, or litigation, the commissioner may rely on the procedural law and rules of this State. The injunctive authority of the commissioner in regard to risk retention groups shall be restricted by the requirement that any injunction be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. All penalties collected under this section and section 431K-7.1 shall be deposited to the credit of the compliance resolution fund.
