NOT a feature of a typical State Insurance Regulatory System?

State insurance regulatory systems are built around ensuring who can operate, how rates are set and reviewed, and whether insurers stay financially sound. Licensing requirements ensure that insurers and producers meet basic standards before they can do business. Public access to rate filings supports transparency so consumers and other stakeholders can see how premiums are determined. Periodic examinations of insurers check on financial condition, reserves, governance, and compliance, helping to protect policyholders. The ability to impose sanctions, while it can occur in practice, is not always described as a standalone feature of the regulatory framework itself. Enforcement actions and penalties often involve formal proceedings and may involve other state authorities, rather than being treated as an inherent, standalone regulatory function. For that reason, this item is the one that doesn’t fit as a typical standalone feature.
