and purchasing groups. The commissioner is authorized to make use of any of the powers and requirements established under title 26.1 so long as those powers or requirements are not specifically pre-empted by the federal Product Liability Risk Retention Act of 1981, as amended by the Risk Retention Amendments of 1986. This includes the commissioner's administrative authority to investigate, issue subpoenas, conduct depositions and hearings, issue orders, impose penalties, and seek injunctive relief. With regard to any investigation, administrative proceedings, or litigation, the commissioner can rely on the procedural law and regulations of the state. The injunctive authority of the commissioner in regard to risk retention groups is restricted by the requirements that any injunction be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
