12116.5
. (a) The commissioner may, for good cause, implement by
regulation, order, or written consent, reasonable conditions or
limitations under which any or all admitted financial guaranty
insurance corporations may insure the type of business described in
paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 12100 or subdivision (a)
of Section 12119, reduce reserves in respect of collateral described
in paragraph (2) or (5) of subdivision (e) of Section 12100, or
engage in the transactions described in subdivision (b) of Section
12106, when, in the judgment of the commissioner, those conditions or
limitations are necessary and appropriate to safeguard insurer
solvency.
(b) Whenever the reserves for outstanding liabilities for
obligations insured under subdivision (c) of Section 12100 are
determined by the commissioner to be inadequate, he or she shall
require the insurer to maintain additional reserves.
(c) The commissioner may disallow, for purposes of any financial
statements or reports required or permitted to be filed under this
code, the recognition of collateral authorized by paragraph (2) or
(5) of subdivision (e) of Section 12100 if the commissioner finds
after inquiry and review that the collateral fails to legally secure
the obligations to which it relates, the collateral is inaccurately
valued, the value of the collateral is insufficient in relation to
the obligations secured, or the legality or value of the collateral
cannot readily be ascertained based on information provided.
(d) The commissioner may require restatement or other relevant
revision of any admitted financial guaranty insurer's annual or other
financial statement or report required or permitted to be filed
under this code if the commissioner finds after inquiry and review
that any transaction entered into under subdivision (b) of Section
12106 has the effect of distorting, misrepresenting, or otherwise
rendering inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete the financial
condition of the insurer in any material respect.
(e) No credit default swap authorized or permitted to be insured,
acquired, or otherwise used for any purpose by any admitted financial
guaranty insurance corporation under any provision of this code
shall be used in any manner for more than one purpose, or under more
than one statutory authorization, unless authorized by this code.
