§ 404. Procedures. (a) If the superintendent has reason to believe

that a person has engaged in, or is engaging in, an act defined in

section 155.05 of the penal law, with respect to personal or commercial

insurance transactions, the business of life settlements, section 176.05

or section 176.40 of such law, the superintendent may make such

investigation within or without this state as the superintendent deems

necessary to aid in the enforcement of this chapter or to determine

whether any person has violated or is about to violate any such

provision of the penal law.

(b) A person having material located outside the state and requested

by the superintendent may make it available to the superintendent or his

representative to be examined at the place where it is located. The

state in which the material is located, to inspect the material on his

behalf, and he may respond to similar requests from officials of other

states.
