§ 38a-83 — (Formerly Sec. 38-43). Securities required by other states deposited with State Treasurer.

(a) When any state requires insurance companies of other states to deposit with some officer of such other state securities in trust for policyholders of the companies as a prerequisite to their transacting business in that state, the Treasurer of this state may receive on deposit from any domestic insurance company the securities required by the laws of that other state. The legal title to the securities shall be transferred to the Treasurer in trust for the policyholders of the insurance company, and the Treasurer shall hold the securities in trust for the policyholders. The insurance company may collect and receive the interest and dividends on the securities and may withdraw the securities on depositing with the Treasurer other securities of like character and par value. The Treasurer shall issue a certificate, under seal, of any such deposit for each state which requires such a certificate, which shall state the items and the par value of securities deposited. The Treasurer shall charge a fee of thirty-five dollars to the insurance company for each certificate so issued. (b) Any insurance company which has deposited securities with the State Treasurer, has caused all of its unexpired policies to be paid, cancelled or reinsured, and all of its liabilities under such policies to be extinguished or to be assumed by some other responsible company having a similar deposit with the treasurer or with the proper officer of some other state, or has subsequently made a similar deposit of the sum required with the proper officer of some other state, may apply to the Treasurer for a return of such deposited securities. The Treasurer, on receipt of an application from the company, verified by the oath of its president or secretary, and on being satisfied by an examination of the company's books, and of its officers under oath, that all of the company's policies are so paid, cancelled, extinguished or reinsured, or that such subsequent deposit was duly made and has not since been withdrawn, as evidenced by a certificate from the proper officer of such other state, shall deliver such securities to the company.
