§ 8304. Regulatory action level event
(a) The following are deemed to be regulatory action level events and subject to the requirements
of this section:
(1) A risk-based capital report or final adjusted risk-based capital report that indicates
that the insurer’s total adjusted capital is greater than or equal to its authorized
control level risk-based capital, but less than its regulatory action level risk-based
capital.
(2) Late filing of a risk-based capital report that is not excused by the Commissioner
and cured within 10 days of the filing date.
(3) Failure to file a risk-based capital plan within the time provided in section 8303 of this title.
(4) Notice by the Commissioner that a plan submitted by the insurer under section 8303 of this title is disapproved and that the disapproval has been deemed by the Commissioner as constituting
a regulatory action level event.
(5) Notice by the Commissioner of a failure to adhere to its risk-based capital plan or
revised risk-based capital plan where the failure has a substantial adverse effect
on the ability of the insurer to eliminate the regulatory action level event in accordance
with its plan.
(b) An insurer shall prepare and submit to the Commissioner a risk-based capital plan
within 45 days of filing a risk-based capital report or within 45 days of notice of
a final adjusted risk-based capital report showing a regulatory action level event.
(c) The Commissioner shall order such examination and analysis as the Commissioner deems
necessary of the assets, liabilities, and operations of the insurer, including a review
of its risk-based capital plan or revised risk-based capital plan. Subsequent to the
examination or analysis, the Commissioner shall issue an order specifying such corrective
actions as the Commissioner shall determine are required. In determining corrective
actions, the Commissioner may take into account the results of any examination and
analysis of the insurer’s assets, liabilities, and operations, including any sensitivity
test undertaken pursuant to the risk-based capital instructions.
(d) The Commissioner may retain actuaries, investment experts, and other consultants as
the Commissioner deems necessary to review the insurer’s risk-based capital plan or
revised risk-based capital plan; examine or analyze the assets, liabilities, and operations
of the insurer; and formulate the corrective order with respect to the insurer. The
fees, costs, and expenses relating to consultants shall be borne by the affected insurer
or such other party as directed by the Commissioner. (Added 1993, No. 235 (Adj. Sess.), § 8, eff. June 21, 1994.)
