§ 27-4.7-7. Mandatory control level event.

(a) “Mandatory control level event” means any of the following events:

(1) The filing of an RBC report which indicates that the health organization’s total adjusted capital is less than its mandatory control level RBC;

(2) Notification by the commissioner to the health organization of an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subdivision (a)(1) of this section, provided the health organization does not challenge the adjusted RBC report under § 27-4.7-8; or

(3) If, pursuant to § 27-4.7-8, the health organization challenges an adjusted RBC report that indicates the event in subdivision (a)(1) of this section, notification by the commissioner to the health organization that the commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the health organization’s challenge.

(b) In the event of a mandatory control level event, the commissioner shall take any actions that are necessary to place the health organization under regulatory control pursuant to chapters 14.1, 14.2, and 14.3 of this title. In that event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under chapters 14.1, 14.2, and 14.3 of this title, and the commissioner has the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the health organization that are set forth in chapters 14.1, 14.2, and 14.3 of this title. If the commissioner takes actions pursuant to an adjusted RBC report, the health organization is entitled to the protections of chapter 35 of title 42 pertaining to summary proceedings. Notwithstanding any of these provisions, the commissioner may forego action for up to ninety (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 ninety (90) day period.
