North Dakota Century Code Title 26.1. Insurance § 26.1-05-09. Commissioner authorized to regulate solicitation of proxies

A person, in contravention of any rules the commissioner may adopt as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors, may not solicit or permit the use of the person's name to solicit any proxy, consent, or authorization in respect of any equity security of a domestic stock insurance company not listed on a national securities exchange and registered as such with the federal securities and exchange commission. This section applies to every domestic stock insurance company having one hundred or more stockholders of record. However, this section does not apply to any insurance company if ninety-five percent or more of its stock is owned or controlled by a parent or an affiliated insurance company and the remaining shares are held by less than five hundred stockholders. A domestic stock insurance company which files with the federal securities and exchange commission forms of proxies, consents, and authorizations which comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is exempt from this section.
