Rhode Island General Laws Title 27. Insurance § 27-1-1. Site of principal office and records

(1) The number of full time employees currently located within the state, and the number of full time employees anticipated to be located within the state if the petition is granted;

(2) That no detriment nor prejudice will inure to any current or anticipated future policyholders of the company by granting the application;

(3) That the granting of the application is not inimical to the ability of policyholders to file claims with and against the company, and, in furtherance of this finding, may require that the company maintain a toll free number for registering claims, and may require a claims office to be located within the state, staffed by a person authorized to issue payment on behalf of the company on approved claims; and

(4) That a review of the financial records of the company and the records relied upon by the director in making the determination have satisfied the director that the company is able to meet its obligations to current policyholders. In the event that there is any risk associated with the granting the application the director may deny the application or may, in furtherance of the application, require the posting of bonds and/or securities with the general treasurer, in an amount to be determined by the director, sufficient to protect the interest of the policyholders within the state.
