Sec. 443.101. REHABILITATION ORDERS. (a) An order to rehabilitate the business of an insurer must appoint the commissioner and the commissioner's successors in office as the rehabilitator and must direct the rehabilitator to take possession of the property of the insurer wherever located and to administer it subject to this chapter. The rehabilitator is entitled to request the receivership court to appoint a single judge to supervise the rehabilitation and hear any cases or controversies arising out of or related to the rehabilitation. Rehabilitation proceedings are exempt from any dormancy or similar program maintained by the receivership court for the early closure of civil actions. The filing or recording of the order with the clerk of the court or recorder of deeds of the county in which the principal business of the company is conducted, or, in the case of real estate, the county in which its principal office or place of business is located, imparts the same notice as a deed, bill of sale, or other evidence of title filed or recorded with the recorder of deeds would impart. The order to rehabilitate the insurer must, by operation of law, vest title to all property of the insurer in the rehabilitator.
(b) Any order issued under this section must require accountings to the receivership court by the rehabilitator. Accountings must be at the intervals specified by the receivership court in its order, but not less frequently than semi-annually. Each accounting must include a report concerning the rehabilitator's opinion as to the likelihood that a plan under Section 443.103 will be prepared by the rehabilitator and the timetable for doing so.
(c) In recognition of the need for a prompt and final resolution for all persons affected by a plan of rehabilitation, any appeal from an order of rehabilitation or an order approving a plan of rehabilitation must be heard on an expedited basis. A stay of an order of rehabilitation or an order approving a plan of rehabilitation may not be granted unless the appellant demonstrates that extraordinary circumstances warrant delaying the recovery under the plan of rehabilitation of all other persons, including policyholders. If the plan provides an appropriate mechanism for adjustment in the event of any adverse ruling from an appeal, a stay may not be granted.
