59A-30A-18. Termination; distribution of funds.
A. The superintendent shall by order terminate the operation of the association if he finds, after hearing, that there is in effect a statutory or voluntary plan that:
(1) is a permanent plan that is adequately funded or for which an adequate means of funding is provided; and
(2) extends or will extend, to New Mexico title insurance policyholders and residents, protection and benefits with respect to insolvent insurers not less favorable than the protection provided under the Title Insurance Guaranty Act.
B. If the association's operation is terminated, the association, as soon as possible, shall distribute the balance of money and assets remaining, after discharge of the functions of the association with respect to prior insurer insolvencies not covered by another plan, to member insurers that are then writing title insurance policies in this state, pro rata upon the basis of the aggregate of payments and assessments made by the respective insurers during the five years next preceding the date of the order.
