§2090. Powers and duties of the commissioner
A. In addition to the duties and powers enumerated elsewhere in this Part, and in
other provisions of law, the commissioner shall do all of the following:
(1) Upon request of the board of directors, and notwithstanding any other law to the
contrary, provide the association with a statement of the premiums, in this and any other
appropriate states, for each member insurer.
(2) When an impairment is declared and the amount of the impairment is determined,
serve a demand upon the impaired insurer to make good the impairment within a reasonable
time. The notice to the impaired insurer shall constitute notice to its shareholders, if
applicable. The failure of the impaired insurer to promptly comply with such demand shall
not excuse the association from the performance of its powers and duties under this Part.
(3) In any liquidation or rehabilitation proceeding involving a domestic insurer, be
appointed as the liquidator or rehabilitator.
B. The commissioner may suspend or revoke, after compliance with R.S. 49:977.3,
the certificate of authority to transact business in this state of any member insurer who fails
to pay an assessment when due or fails to comply with the plan of operation. As an
alternative, the commissioner may also levy a fine on any member insurer who fails to pay
an assessment when due. The fine shall not exceed five percent of the unpaid assessment per
month, but no fine shall be less than one hundred dollars per month.
C. Any action of the board of directors or the association may be appealed to the
commissioner by any member insurer if such appeal is taken within sixty days of the final
action being appealed. If a member insurer is appealing an assessment, the amount assessed
shall be paid to the association and credited to meet association obligations during the
pendency of an appeal. If the appeal on the assessment is upheld, the amount if paid in error
or excess, shall be returned to the member insurer without interest. Any final action or order
of the commissioner shall be subject to judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction.
D. The liquidator, rehabilitator, or conservator of any impaired or insolvent insurer
shall notify all interested persons of the effect of this Part.
