521E.10 Foreign insurers.

1. a. A foreign insurer, upon the written request of the commissioner, shall submit to the commissioner a risk-based capital report as of the end of the calendar year just ended by the later of the following:

(1) The filing date.

(2) Fifteen days after the request is received by the foreign insurer.

b. A foreign insurer, upon the written request of the commissioner, shall promptly submit to the commissioner a copy of any risk-based capital plan that is filed with the insurance commissioner of any other state.

2. In the event of a company-action-level event, regulatory-action-level event, or authorized-control-level event with respect to a foreign insurer as determined under the risk-based capital statute applicable in the state of domicile of the insurer, or, if no risk-based capital statute is in force in that state, under the provisions of this chapter, and if the insurance commissioner of the state of domicile of the foreign insurer fails to require the foreign insurer to file a risk-based capital plan in the manner specified under that state’s risk-based capital statute, or, if no risk-based capital statute is in force in that state, pursuant to section 521E.2, the commissioner may require the foreign insurer to file a risk-based capital plan with the commissioner. The failure of the foreign insurer to file a risk-based capital plan with the commissioner shall be sufficient grounds for the commissioner to order the insurer to cease and desist from writing new insurance business in this state.

3. In the event of a mandatory-control-level event with respect to a foreign insurer, if a domiciliary receiver has not been appointed with respect to the foreign insurer under the rehabilitation and liquidation statute applicable in the state of domicile of the foreign insurer, the commissioner may make application to the district court as permitted under chapter 507C with respect to the liquidation of property of foreign insurers found in this state, and the occurrence of the mandatory-control-level event shall be considered adequate grounds for the application.
