New Mexico Statutes Chapter 59A. Insurance Code § 59A-41-51. Summary proceedings; superintendent's corrective orders authorized

A. If the superintendent determines after a hearing that any insurer has committed or engaged in, or is committing or engaging in, or is about to commit or engage in any act, practice or transaction that would subject it to formal delinquency proceedings under this article, he shall make and serve upon the insurer and other persons involved, such orders (other than seizure orders under Sections 746 and 747 of this article) as he deems reasonably necessary to correct, eliminate, or remedy such conduct, condition or ground. Orders to cure impairment of capital or surplus are subject to Section 92 of the Insurance Code.

B. If the superintendent believes that irreparable harm to the insurer or its policyholders, creditors or the public may occur unless his order is issued with immediate effect, he may make and serve his order without notice and before hearing, and shall simultaneously therewith serve upon the insurer and other persons involved a notice of hearing.

C. The superintendent's order and notice of hearing shall be served by personal service in any manner provided by the New Mexico Rules of Civil Procedure.

D. This section, and Sections 744 through 749 of this article, are supplemental to and not in contradiction or modification of Sections 716 through 718 or any other sections of this article as to insurers in hazardous financial condition.
