§ 17400

The commissioner may from time to time make, amend, and rescind the rules, forms, and orders that are necessary to carry out the provisions of this division, and define any terms, whether or not used in this division, insofar as the definitions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this division. For the purpose of rules and forms, the commissioner may, among other things, classify persons and matters within the commissioner’s jurisdiction and may prescribe different requirements for different classes. The commissioner may, in the commissioner’s discretion, waive any requirement of any rule or form in situations where in his or her opinion the requirement is not necessary in the public interest or for the protection of the public.
