Section 354 of The Insurance Company Law of 1921, Act of May 17, 1921, P.L. 62, as amended, 40 P.S. §477b empowers the Insurance Commissioner of Pennsylvania (Commissioner) to screen life insurance policy forms and reject or approve them for sale in the Commonwealth.

After a hearing, the Commissioner issued an Order and Adjudication affirming the Department’s rejection. Crown now petitions this Court to review that order.
