A. The superintendent shall by order terminate the operation of the association as to any kind of insurance covered by this article with respect to which he has found, after hearing, that there is in effect a statutory or voluntary plan which: (1) is a permanent plan which is adequately funded or for which adequate funding is provided; and (2) extends, or will extend to the New Mexico policyholders and residents protection and benefits with respect to insolvent insurers not substantially less favorable and effective to the policyholders and residents than the protection and benefits provided with respect to such kinds of insurance under this article. B. The superintendent shall by the same order authorize discontinuance of future payments by insurers to the association with respect to the same kinds of insurance, but assessments and payments shall continue, as necessary, to liquidate covered claims of insurers adjudged insolvent prior to the order and the related expenses not covered by the other plan. C. If operation of the association is terminated as to all kinds of insurance otherwise within its scope, the association, as soon as possible thereafter, shall distribute the balance of money and assets remaining, after discharge of the functions of the association, with respect to prior insurer insolvencies not covered by another plan, together with related expenses, to the insurers which are then writing in this state policies of the kinds of insurance covered by this article and which had made payments to the association, pro rata upon the basis of the aggregate of such payments made by the respective insurers during the period of five (5) years next preceding the date of the order. Upon completion of the distribution with respect to all of the kinds of insurance covered by this article, this shall be deemed to have expired.
