Sec. 17.
(a) This chapter shall be, and shall be construed as being, in addition to IC 27-1, and in addition to IC 27-7-2, and in addition to any and all statutes supplemental to either, and in addition to any and all other laws of the state of Indiana concerning insurance or the business of insurance, whether enacted at any time in the 1947 regular session or at any preceding session of the general assembly of the state of Indiana.
(b) Whereas certain unlawful practices are set forth in other insurance statutes of the state of Indiana which unlawful practices are similar or identical to those enumerated in section 4 of this chapter and are characterized in other insurance statutes as criminal in nature, it is deemed desirable to retain the criminal penalties imposed by other insurance statutes; for that purpose, nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to repeal, amend, or otherwise to affect in any way IC 27-1, IC 27-7-2, or any other law of the state of Indiana concerning insurance or the business of insurance whether enacted at any time in the 1947 regular session or at any preceding session of the general assembly of the state of Indiana, it being the intent of this chapter to provide additional administrative remedies for the purpose of controlling unfair methods of competition and unfair and deceptive acts and practices in and affecting the business of insurance.
(c) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as exempting or excepting from the provisions of this chapter any person engaged in the business of insurance in this state, except as in this chapter otherwise expressly provided.
