commissioner considers necessary to determine whether any licensee or any other person has violated or is about to violate any of the provisions of sections 36a-595 to 36a-610, inclusive, or whether any licensee has acted in such manner as otherwise would

shall apply to such investigation.
(b) The commissioner may suspend or revoke a license or take any other action, in
accordance with section 36a-51, on any ground on which the commissioner might refuse

or of any regulation adopted under said sections, for noncompliance with an order which
the commissioner may issue under said sections to a licensee, or for failure of the licensee
to pay a judgment ordered by any court within or outside this state within thirty days
after the judgment becomes final or within thirty days after expiration or termination
of a stay of execution of the judgment.
(c) Whenever it appears to the commissioner that any person has violated, is violating or is about to violate any provision of sections 36a-595 to 36a-610, inclusive, or
any regulation adopted under said sections, the commissioner may take action against
such person in accordance with section 36a-50.
(d) The commissioner may order a licensee to terminate its agency relationship with
any agent or subagent who refuses to allow an examination of its books and records
regarding the business of such licensee as provided in section 36a-605.
