A. As used in the Risk-Based Capital Act, “authorized control level event” means any of the following events:
(1) the filing of a risk-based capital report by an insurer or health organization that indicates that the insurer's or health organization's total adjusted capital is greater than or equal to its mandatory control level risk-based capital but less than its authorized control level risk-based capital;
(2) the superintendent's notification to an insurer or health organization that its adjusted risk-based capital report indicates the existence of an event described in Paragraph (1) of this subsection, unless the insurer or health organization challenges the adjusted report pursuant to Section 59A-5A-8 NMSA 1978;
(3) if an insurer or health organization challenges the adjusted risk-based capital report, notification to the insurer or health organization that the superintendent has, after hearing, rejected the challenge;
(4) an insurer's or health organization's failure to respond, in a manner satisfactory to the superintendent, to a corrective order unless the insurer or health organization has challenged the order pursuant to Section 59A-5A-8 NMSA 1978; or
(5) if an insurer or health organization has challenged a corrective order and the superintendent has, after hearing, rejected the challenge or modified the corrective order, the failure of the insurer or health organization to respond, in a manner satisfactory to the superintendent, to the corrective order subsequent to rejection or modification.
B. In the event of an authorized control level event with respect to an insurer or health organization, the superintendent shall:
(1) take such actions as are required pursuant to Section 59A-5A-5 NMSA 1978 regarding an insurer or health organization with respect to which a regulatory action level event has occurred; or
(2) if the superintendent deems it to be in the best interests of the insurer's or health organization's policyholders and creditors and of the public, take such actions as are necessary to cause the insurer or health organization to be placed under regulatory control pursuant to Chapter 59A, Article 41 NMSA 1978. The authorized control level event constitutes sufficient grounds for the superintendent to take action pursuant to Chapter 59A, Article 41 NMSA 1978, and the superintendent has the rights, powers and duties with respect to the insurer or health organization set forth in Chapter 59A, Article 41 NMSA 1978.
