§ 33-2-1906. Authorized Control Level Event

Authorized control level event. (1) "Authorized control level event" means any of the following events: (a) the filing of an RBC report by the insurer that indicates that the insurer's total adjusted capital is greater than or equal to its mandatory control level RBC but less than its authorized control level RBC; (b) the notification by the commissioner to the insurer of an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subsection (1)(a) if the insurer does not challenge the adjusted RBC report under 33-2-1908 or the commissioner rejects the insurer's challenge; (c) the failure of the insurer to respond, in a manner satisfactory to the commissioner, to a corrective order if the insurer has not challenged the corrective order under 33-2-1908 ; or (d) if the insurer has challenged a corrective order under 33-2-1908 and the commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the challenge or modified the corrective order, the failure of the insurer to respond, in a manner satisfactory to the commissioner, to the corrective order subsequent to rejection or modification by the commissioner. (2) In the event of an authorized control level event with respect to an insurer, the commissioner shall: (a) take the actions required under 33-2-1905 regarding an insurer with respect to which a regulatory action level event has occurred; or (b) if the commissioner considers it to be in the best interests of the policyholders and creditors of the insurer and of the public, take the actions necessary to cause the insurer to be placed under regulatory control under Title 33, chapter 2, part 13. In the event that the commissioner places the insurer under regulatory control, the authorized control level event must be considered sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under Title 33, chapter 2, part 13, and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in Title 33, chapter 2, part 13. In the event that the commissioner takes an action under this subsection pursuant to an adjusted RBC report, the insurer is entitled to the protections afforded to insurers under the provisions of 33-2-1321 through 33-2-1323 pertaining to summary proceedings.
