To aid in the detection and prevention of insurer insolvencies: (1) The board of directors, upon majority vote, shall notify the commissioner of any information which it may have indicating any member insurer may be insolvent or in a financial condition hazardous to its policyholders or the public. (2) The board of directors may, upon majority vote, request that the commissioner order an examination of any member insurer which the board in good faith believes may be in a financial condition hazardous to its policyholders or the public. Within thirty days of the receipt of such request, the commissioner shall begin such examination. The examination may be conducted as a National Association of Insurance Commissioners examination or may be conducted by the commissioner or by such persons as the commissioner may designate. The cost of such examination shall be paid by said association. In no event shall such examination report be released to the board of directors prior to its release to the public, provided this shall not preclude the commissioner from complying with subdivision (3) of this section. The commissioner shall notify the board of directors when the examination is completed. The request for an examination shall be kept on file by the commissioner but it shall not be open to public inspection prior to the release of the examination report to the public. (3) The commissioner shall report to the board of directors when he has reasonable cause to believe that any member insurer examined or being examined at the request of the board of directors may be insolvent or in a financial condition hazardous to its policyholders or the public. (4) The board of directors may, upon majority vote, make reports and recommendations to the commissioner and the chief insurance regulatory official in any jurisdiction upon any matter germane to the solvency, liquidation, rehabilitation or conservation of any member insurer. Such reports and recommendations shall not be considered public documents. (5) The board of directors may, upon majority vote, make recommendations to the commissioner and any other public official in any jurisdiction for the detection and prevention of insurer insolvencies. (6) At the request of the commissioner, the board of directors shall, at the conclusion of any insurer insolvency in which said association was obligated to pay any covered claim, prepare a report on the history and causes of such insolvency, based on the information available to said association, and submit such report to the commissioner.
