Section 11:2-39.7 - 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 insurer's total adjusted capital is less than its Mandatory Control Level RBC;

2. Notification by the Commissioner to the insurer of an Adjusted RBC Report that indicates the event in (a)1 above, provided the insurer does not challenge the Adjusted RBC Report under N.J.A.C. 11:2-39.9; or

3. If the insurer, under N.J.A.C. 11:2-39.9, challenges an Adjusted RBC Report that indicates the event in (a)1 above, notification by the Commissioner to the insurer that the Commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the insurer's challenge.

(b) In the event of a mandatory control level event as set forth in (a) above:

1. With respect to a life/health insurer, the Commissioner shall take actions necessary to cause a domestic insurer to be placed under regulatory control pursuant to N.J.S.A. 17B:32-31 et seq. In that event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the Commissioner to take action under the said Act, and the Commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in the said Act. In the event the Commissioner takes actions pursuant to an Adjusted RBC Report, the insurer shall be entitled to such protections as are afforded to insurers under provisions of the said Act. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Commissioner may forego action for up to 90 days after the mandatory control level event if he or she finds there is a reasonable expectation that the mandatory control level event may be eliminated within the 90-day period.

2. With respect to a property/casualty insurer, the Commissioner shall take such actions as are necessary to place the insurer under regulatory control pursuant to N.J.S.A. 17:30C-1 et seq., or, in the case of an insurer that is writing no business and which is running-off its existing business, may allow the insurer to continue its run-off 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 the said Act and the Commissioner shall have the rights, powers and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in the said Act. 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.
