Text

(a) As used in this subchapter, "mandatory control level event" means any of the following events: (1) The filing of an RBC report that shows the insurer's total adjusted capital is less than its mandatory control level RBC; (2) Notification by the Insurance Commissioner to the insurer of an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subdivision (a)(1) of this section if the insurer does not challenge the adjusted RBC report under § 23-63-1308 ; or (3) If under § 23-63-1308 the insurer challenges an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subdivision (a)(1) of this section, notification by the commissioner to the insurer that the commissioner, after a hearing, has rejected the insurer's challenge. (b) In the event of a mandatory control level event: (1) (A) For a life insurer or a fraternal benefit society, the commissioner shall take action to place the life insurer or the fraternal benefit society under regulatory control under § 23-68-101 et seq. (B) In that event, the mandatory control level event is sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under § 23-68-101 et seq., and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties to the life insurer or the fraternal benefit society stated in § 23-68-101 et seq. (C) If the commissioner takes action under an adjusted RBC report, the life insurer or the fraternal benefit society is entitled to the protections of § 23-68-101 et seq. pertaining to summary proceedings. (D) The commissioner may forego action for up to ninety (90) days after the mandatory control level event if the commissioner finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the ninety-day period; and (2) With respect to a property and casualty insurer, the commissioner shall take the actions necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control under § 23-68-101 et seq., or in the case of an insurer that is writing no business and is running-off its existing business, may allow the insurer to continue its runoff under the supervision of the commissioner. In either event, the mandatory control level event is sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under § 23-68-101 et seq., and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer stated in § 23-68-101 et seq. If the commissioner takes action under an adjusted RBC report, the insurer is entitled to the protections of § 23-68-101 et seq. pertaining to summary proceedings. The commissioner may forego action for up to ninety (90) days after the mandatory control level event if the commissioner finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the ninety-day period.
