  • licensing;
  • establishing bylaws;
  • conducting investigations and handling complaints; and
  • conducting hearings on agent and adjuster licensing and disciplinary matters.

The Superintendent hears appeals from decisions of the councils regarding agent and adjuster licensing and disciplinary matters.
