Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(a) All matters relating to the business activities and subjects under the jurisdiction of the department.
(b) Violations of any law or rule or order of the department.
(c) Such other matters as may be provided by law.
