North Dakota Century Code Title 26.1. Insurance § 26.1-07-05.1. Hearing on petition--General duties of commissioner

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

The commissioner shall hold a hearing on the petition and determine whether the consolidation or reinsurance will be allowed. The hearing must be conducted under chapter 28-32. Within sixty days of the close of the hearing, the commissioner shall enter findings of fact, conclusions of law, and an order either approving or disapproving any petition. The commissioner in making the determination shall consider the following:

1. Whether the proposed consolidation or reinsurance contract is inequitable to the policyholders of any domestic insurance company involved;

2. Whether the proposed consolidation or reinsurance contract would materially reduce the financial security of policyholders of the domestic insurer in this state or elsewhere; and

3. Whether the competence, experience, and integrity of the persons of a foreign insurance company who would control the operation of the consolidated insurance company or the reinsuring company are such that it would not be in the interest of the policyholders of the company to permit the consolidation or reinsurance contract.

The findings of fact, conclusions of law, and order entered by the commissioner are subject to appeal under chapter 28-32. The commissioner may waive the hearing if the companies involved and all the policyholders of the domestic companies involved consent to waiving the hearing.
