§ 59A-34-10 — Records and accounts

A. Every domestic insurer shall keep at its principal place of business in this state its original books, records, documents, accounts and vouchers in such manner that its financial condition can be ascertained, its financial statements filed with the superintendent readily verified, and its compliance with law determined. A domestic insurer the records of which on January 1, 1983 and on the effective date of the Insurance Code were being lawfully maintained outside this state shall for good cause shown be allowed by the superintendent a reasonable period, not to exceed one (1) year after such effective date, to return such records to its principal place of business in this state. B. The insurer may destroy records which have become obsolete in accordance with such classifications and schedule for destruction as may be adopted by the insurer and approved in writing by the superintendent. C. This section shall not be deemed to prohibit safekeeping arrangements for computerized and other records of the insurer outside such principal place of business and in the same general locality of this state so long as readily available to the insurer, and, for purposes of examination, to the superintendent.
