2019 New Mexico Statutes
Chapter 59A - Insurance Code
Article 38 - Lloyds Plan Automobile Insurance
Section 59A-38-6 - Limit on volume of insurance written.
A. A Lloyds Plan underwriters shall not assume nor write insurance on risks in this state or for New Mexico residents which produces a net premium income in excess of ten (10) times the underwriters' surplus. If at any time insurance in force produces a net premium income greater than ten (10) times such surplus, the underwriters shall not write any new insurance business until they can do so without exceeding such limit of net premiums to surplus.
B. While the underwriters' surplus is in amount not less than the minimum amount of capital funds (paid-in capital stock) required to be maintained under the Insurance Code by a domestic stock insurer transacting the same kind of insurance, the limit upon volume of business written otherwise applicable under this action shall not apply.
C. If in the superintendent's judgment the underwriters have effected and maintain reinsurance or other contracts with insurers authorized to transact insurance in this state, and which reduces the net insurance risk retained by the underwriters so that their operations are safe and solvency not endangered, then the superintendent may continue the certificate of authority to the underwriters without regard to the limitation upon volume of insurance business in force otherwise provided for in this section.
