No report of examination shall be adopted by the commissioner or filed by him as an official document except after a notice is given and a hearing held thereon, if demanded, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11141. The commissioner in his determination made upon the basis of his findings from the record of such hearing may direct the society to comply with such recommendations or take such other corrective steps as may be contained therein. In any action or proceeding in the name of the commissioner or instituted in his behalf against the society, such report, if adopted by the commissioner and filed as an official document shall be admissible in evidence and shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. Nothing herein contained shall preclude the commissioner from instituting any proceeding under Section 11137 of this chapter at any time or from using as proof in such proceeding any report of examination or part thereof, whether or not such report has been adopted and filed.
