§616. Mandatory-control level event
A. "Mandatory-control level event" shall mean any of the following events:
(1)The filing of a risk-based capital report which indicates that the total adjusted capital of the insurer is less than the mandatory-control level risk-based capital.
(2)Notification by the department to the insurer of an adjusted risk-based capital report that indicates the event in Paragraph
(1)of this Subsection, unless the insurer fails to dispute the adjusted risk-based capital report under R.S. 22:617.
(3)If the insurer disputes an adjusted risk-based capital report that contains the event in Paragraph
(1)of this Subsection, notification by the department to the insurer that the department has rejected the dispute by the insurer.
B. In the event of a mandatory-control level event:
(1)For any domestic life insurer, the department shall take any actions necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control as provided by R.S. 22:73 and 96, Subpart H of this Part, R.S. 22:731 et seq., and Chapter 9 of this Code, R.S. 22:2001 et seq. The mandatory-control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the department to place and maintain the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in R.S. 22:73 and 96, Subpart H of this Part, and Chapter 9 of this Code. If the department takes actions pursuant to an adjusted risk-based capital report, the insurer shall be entitled to the protection of this Code. The department may forego action for up to ninety days after the mandatory-control level event if the department determines there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory-control level event may be eliminated within the ninety-day period.
(2)(a) For any domestic property and casualty insurer, the department shall act as necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control as provided by R.S. 22:73 and 96, Subpart H of this Part, and Chapter 9 of this Code, or, in the case of an insurer which is writing no business and which is running off of its existing business, may allow the insurer to continue its runoff under the administrative supervision of the department.
(b)The mandatory-control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the department to place the insurer and maintain the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in R.S. 22:73 and 96, Subpart H of this Part, and Chapter 9 of this Code. If the department takes actions pursuant to an adjusted risk-based capital report, the insurer shall be entitled to the protection of this Code pertaining to summary proceedings.
(c)The department may forego any action for up to ninety days after the mandatory-control level event if the department finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory-control level event may be eliminated within the ninety-day period.
