33-2-1907. Mandatory control level event. (1) "Mandatory control level event" means any of the following events:
     (a) the filing of an RBC report that 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 subsection (1)(a) if the insurer does not challenge the adjusted RBC report under 33-2-1908 or the commissioner rejects the insurer's challenge.
     (2) In the event of a mandatory control level event:
     (a) with respect to a life insurer, the commissioner shall take the actions that are necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control under Title 33, chapter 2, part 13. In that event, the mandatory control level event must be considered sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under Title 33, chapter 2, part 13, and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in Title 33, chapter 2, part 13. If the commissioner takes an action pursuant to an adjusted RBC report, the insurer is entitled to the protections of 33-2-1321 through 33-2-1323 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 that 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 the actions necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control under Title 33, chapter 2, part 13, or, in the case of an insurer that is not writing business and that 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 must be considered sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under Title 33, chapter 2, part 13, and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in Title 33, chapter 2, part 13. If the commissioner takes an action pursuant to an adjusted RBC report, the insurer is entitled to the protections of 33-2-1321 through 33-2-1323 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.
