Section 404-F:6 Mandatory Control Level Event. - New Hampshire Statutes

   I. ""Mandatory control level event'' means any of the following events:
      (a) The filing of an RBC report which indicates that the insurer's total adjusted capital is less than its mandatory control level RBC;
      (b) Notification by the commissioner to the insurer of an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subparagraph (a), provided the insurer does not challenge the adjusted RBC report under RSA 404-F:7; or
      (c) If, pursuant to RSA 404-F:7, the insurer challenges an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subparagraph (a), notification by the commissioner to the insurer that the commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the insurer's challenge.
   II. In the event of a mandatory control level event:
      (a) With respect to a life and/or health insurer, the commissioner shall take such actions as are necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control under RSA 402-C. In that event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under RSA 402-C, and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in RSA 402-C. If the commissioner takes actions pursuant to an adjusted RBC report, the insurer shall be entitled to the protections of RSA 402-C:11-14 pertaining to summary proceedings. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the commissioner may forego action for up to 90 days after the mandatory control level event if the commissioner finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the 90-day period.
      (b) With respect to a property and casualty insurer, the commissioner shall take such actions as are necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control under RSA 402-C, 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 runoff 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 RSA 402-C and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in RSA 402-C. If the commissioner takes actions pursuant to an adjusted RBC report, the insurer shall be entitled to the protections of RSA 402-C:11-14 pertaining to summary proceedings. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the commissioner may forego action for up to 90 days after the mandatory control level event if the commissioner finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the 90-day period.
