12115.5
. (a) If an admitted financial guaranty insurance
corporation fails to maintain a rating in any of the top three
generic rating classifications by any securities rating agency
acceptable to the commissioner, it shall immediately send written
notification of this failure to both the commissioner and the
insurance regulatory authority in its state of domicile.
(b) (1) If an admitted financial guaranty insurance corporation
fails to maintain a rating at least equal to the highest notch in the
fourth generic rating classification by any securities rating agency
acceptable to the commissioner, the insurer shall prepare and file
with the commissioner a two-year business plan, in reasonable detail,
together with other information that the commissioner requires. The
plan shall be filed within 45 days of the date when the insurer fails
to maintain that rating.
(2) In response to that failure, the commissioner may conduct any
examination or analysis of the insurer's assets, liabilities, and
operations, including its pricing, that he or she deems necessary.
(3) After reviewing the business plan and conducting any
examination or analysis, the commissioner may issue a corrective
order specifying the corrective measures that he or she determines to
be required, and the insurer shall implement those measures. In
determining corrective measures, the commissioner may take into
account the factors that he or she deems relevant with respect to the
insurer, including the results of the examination or analysis.
(c) If an admitted financial guaranty insurance corporation fails
to maintain an investment grade rating by any securities rating
agency acceptable to the commissioner, it shall not do either of the
following without the commissioner's specific prior written approval:
(1) If domiciled in this state, accept additional risks or issue
new policies anywhere.
(2) If domiciled in another state, accept additional risks in this
state or issue new policies insuring risks in this state.
