(2) Report to the association when the commissioner takes any of the actions set forth in subdivision (1) or when the commissioner has received a report from any other insurance regulatory authority indicating that an action has been taken in another state.

(c) The association may, upon majority vote by the board, make reports and recommendations to the commissioner on any matter germane to the solvency, liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation of a member insurer or germane to the solvency of any insurer seeking to do an insurance business in Indiana. The reports and recommendations are not public documents.
