(A) A foreign licensee, upon written request by the director, must submit an RBC Report as of the end of the preceding calendar year not later than the date that an RBC Report would be required to be filed by a domestic licensee under this article or fifteen days after that request is received by the foreign licensee. In addition, a foreign licensee, upon written request by the director, must promptly submit a copy of an RBC document that has been filed with the chief insurance regulatory officer of another state. (B) In the event of a Company Action Level Event, Regulatory Action Level Event, or Authorized Control Level Event by a foreign licensee as determined under the RBC Laws in its state of domicile or, if no RBC Laws are in force in that state, as determined under the provisions of this article, if the chief insurance regulatory officer of the state of domicile of that foreign licensee fails to require the foreign licensee to file an RBC Plan in the manner specified under that state's RBC Laws or, if no RBC statute is in force in that state, under Section 38-9-330, then the director may require the foreign licensee to file an RBC Plan. The failure of the foreign licensee to file an RBC Plan with the director is grounds for the director to order the foreign licensee to cease and desist from writing new insurance business in this State. (C) In the event of a Mandatory Control Level Event by a foreign licensee, if no domiciliary receiver has been appointed for the foreign licensee under the rehabilitation and liquidation laws of its state of domicile, then the director may petition the circuit court pursuant to Section 38-27-910, et seq., for the liquidation of its property in this State. The occurrence of the Mandatory Control Level Event must be considered grounds for the petition.
