26-48-106. Mandatory control level event.
(a) "Mandatory control level event" means any of the following events:
(i) The filing of an RBC report which indicates that the insurer's total adjusted capital is less than its mandatory control level RBC;
(ii) Notification by the commissioner to the insurer of an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in paragraph (i) of this subsection, provided the insurer does not challenge the adjusted RBC report under W.S. 26-48-107; or
(iii) If the insurer challenges an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in paragraph (i) of this subsection under W.S. 26-48-107, 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:
(i) With respect to a life or disability insurer, the commissioner shall take actions necessary to cause the insurer to be placed under regulatory control under chapter 28 of this code. In that event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under chapter 28, and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in that chapter. The commissioner may forego action under this subsection for up to ninety (90) days after the mandatory control level event if he finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the ninety (90) day period;
(ii) With respect to a property and casualty insurer, the commissioner shall take actions necessary to cause the insurer to be placed under regulatory control under chapter 28 of this code, or, in the case of an insurer which is writing no business and which is running-off its existing business, may allow the insurer to continue its run-off under the supervision of the commissioner. In either event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under chapter 28 and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in that chapter. The commissioner may forego action under this subsection for up to ninety (90) days after the mandatory control level event if he finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the ninety (90) day period.
