Wisconsin releases enforcement actions for August

The Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance recently released a list of administrative actions for August.

The actions are issued by OCI when licensing applicants or licensed individuals or companies have violated Wisconsin insurance statutes or regulations. In some cases, the individual or company denied the stated allegations but consented to the action taken.

Any forfeitures paid are deposited in Wisconsin’s Common School Fund administered by the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands. Earnings from the Fund are distributed to all public K-12 schools in the state and are used by school libraries to purchase materials such as books, newspapers, and computers.
