Section 12116 Of Article 5. Financial Guaranty Insurance From California Insurance Code >> Division 2. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 5.
12116
. (a) If an admitted financial guaranty insurance corporation
at any time exceeds any limitation prescribed by subdivision (a) or
(b) of Section 12114 or Section 12115, the corporation shall
immediately notify the commissioner in writing. Upon receipt of the
written notification, or independent of its receipt, the commissioner
may issue an order to show cause why the financial guaranty
insurance corporation should not cease transacting financial guaranty
insurance business. If the commissioner issues such an order, the
commissioner shall serve notice of hearing with the order to the
financial guaranty insurance corporation stating the time and place
therefor, and the conduct, condition or grounds upon which the
commissioner has made the order. The hearing shall occur not less
than 20 nor more than 30 days after notice is served. At the hearing,
the burden to show cause why the financial guaranty insurance
corporation should not cease transacting new financial guaranty
insurance shall be borne solely by the financial guaranty insurance
corporation.
(b) If the commissioner does not issue an order pursuant to
subdivision (a) upon receiving written notice, the financial guaranty
insurance corporation shall, within 30 days after the limitations
are breached, submit a written plan to the commissioner detailing the
steps that it will take or has taken to reduce its exposure to loss
to no more than the amounts permitted by subdivisions (a) and (b) of
Section 12114 and Section 12115. If, after review of the written
plan, the commissioner determines that the corporation has not
presented reasonable steps to reduce its exposure to loss to not more
than the permitted amounts, the commissioner may issue an order to
show cause following the same procedures as prescribed in subdivision
(a).
(c) If, after notice and hearing pursuant to subdivision (a) or
(b), the commissioner determines that the financial guaranty
insurance corporation has exceeded any limitation prescribed by
subdivision (a) or (b) of Section 12114 or Section 12115, the
commissioner may order the corporation to cease transacting any new
financial guaranty insurance business until its exposure to loss no
longer exceeds these limitations.
(d) The provisions of this section and Section 12115.5 shall in no
way limit the stop order power of the commissioner under any other
section.
