Arkansas Code Title 23. Public Utilities and Regulated Industries § 23-55-808. Receivership

(a)(1) Whenever a licensee has refused or is unable to pay its obligations generally as they become due or whenever it appears to the commissioner that a licensee is in an unsafe or unsound condition, the commissioner, or the Attorney General representing the commissioner, may apply to the Pulaski County Circuit Court or to the circuit court of any county in which the licensee is located for the appointment of a receiver for the licensee. The court may require the receiver to post a bond in such amount as may appear necessary to protect claimants of the licensee.

(2) The receiver, subject to the approval of the court, shall take possession of the books, records, and assets of the licensee and shall take such action with respect to employees, agents, or representatives of the licensee or such other action as may be necessary to conserve the assets of the licensee or ensure payment of instruments issued by the licensee pending further disposition of its business as provided by law. The receiver shall sue and defend, compromise, and settle all claims involving the licensee and exercise such powers and duties as may be necessary and consistent with the laws of this state applicable to the appointment of receivers.

(3) The receiver, from time to time, but in no event less frequently than once each calendar quarter, shall report to the court with respect to all acts and proceedings in connection with the receivership.
