• Title: 23

Text

(a) (1) A domestic stock insurer may reinsure all or substantially all of its insurance in force or a major class thereof with another insurer by an agreement of assumption reinsurance. (2) However, an agreement shall not become effective unless filed with the Insurance Commissioner and approved by him or her in writing. (3) With regard to proposed transactions between a domestic stock insurer which is a subsidiary or affiliate of a depository institution, and another insurer, the determination of the commissioner shall be issued within the period required by federal law. (b) The commissioner shall approve the agreement within a reasonable time after the filing unless he or she finds that it is inequitable to the stockholders of the domestic insurer or would substantially reduce the protection or service to its policyholders. If the commissioner does not approve the agreement, he or she shall so notify the insurer in writing specifying his or her reasons therefor.
