(a) "Mandatory control level event" means any of the following events:

(1) The filing of an RBC report which indicates that the insurer's total adjusted capital is less than its mandatory control level RBC.

(2) Notification by the commissioner to the insurer of an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subdivision (1), provided the insurer does not challenge the adjusted RBC report under Section 27-2B-8.

(3) If, pursuant to Section 27-2B-8, the insurer challenges an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subdivision (1), notification by the commissioner to the insurer that the commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the insurer's challenge.

(b) In the event of a mandatory control level event:

(1) With respect to a life insurer, health organization, or fraternal benefit society, the commissioner shall take actions as necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control pursuant to Chapter 32. In that event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action pursuant to Chapter 32, and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in Chapter 32. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the commissioner may forego action for up to 90 days after the mandatory control level event if the commissioner finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the 90-day period.

(2) With respect to a property and casualty insurer, the commissioner shall take actions as necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control pursuant to Chapter 32. In the case of an insurer which is writing no business and which is running-off its existing business, the commissioner may allow the insurer to continue its run-off under his or her supervision. In either event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action, pursuant to Chapter 32, and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in Chapter 32. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the commissioner may forego action for up to 90 days after the mandatory control level event if the commissioner finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the 90-day period.
