The Commissioner may take action which is necessary or appropriate to enforce the provisions of this chapter and to protect guaranteed asset protection waiver holders in this state. After proper notice and opportunity for hearing, the Commissioner may:

(1) Order the creditor, administrator, or any other person not in compliance with this chapter to cease and desist from further guaranteed asset protection waiver related operations which are in violation of this chapter; and

(2) Impose a penalty of not more than $500.00 per violation and not more than $10,000.00 in the aggregate for all violations of a similar nature.
