(1) A foreign insurance corporation may become a Utah insurance corporation if it submits an application which evidences that the corporation complies with all of the requirements imposed on domestic Utah corporations. The commissioner may, by order after a hearing, relax the requirements of this chapter applicable to corporations in the process of organization that, because of the developed status of the insurer, the commissioner finds unnecessary to protect policyholders and the public. The commissioner shall simultaneously issue a certificate of organization under Subsection 31A-5-204(3) and a certificate of authority under Subsection 31A-5-212(2) when the conditions for both have been satisfied.
(2) Upon approval by the commissioner, a domestic insurer may transfer its domicile to any other state in which it is admitted. The commissioner shall approve the transfer of domicile unless the commissioner finds that the transfer will prejudice the interests of policyholders, creditors, or the public in Utah. The commissioner may require a special deposit, reinsurance, or other protective measures as an alternative to rejecting the insurer's application to move. After or simultaneous with the removal of the corporation, it may seek entry into this state as a foreign corporation under Chapter 14, Foreign Insurers.
(3) The transfer of domicile of an insurance corporation under either Subsection (1) or Subsection (2) does not affect the obligations of the corporation under its existing insurance contracts or any other existing contracts.
