1. Impose a civil penalty equal to the difference between the premium charged and that which would have been charged without the application of inadequately justified adjustments if a refund pursuant to paragraph 3 of this section has not been ordered.

2. Suspend the insurer's authority to do business in any given class.

3. Require applicable refunds to policyholders.
