(1) the person's name;
(2) if the person is not an individual, the identity of each examiner or other person who will perform any part of the examination;
(3) the name of the state that contracted with the person;
(4) the identity of the insurer to be examined;
(5) a description of each issue that the person has been contracted to examine;
(6) an estimate of the examination costs to be charged to the insurer to be examined;
(7) a copy of any contract between the person and the state regulatory body that initiated the examination and a letter authorizing the examination; and
(8) a list of the previous examinations conducted on the same insurer on behalf of any state within the last three years.
(a-1) On accepting a person's registration under Subsection (a), the department shall send written confirmation of the acceptance to:
(1) the person;
(2) the insurer to be examined; and
(3) the state regulatory body that initiated the examination.
(b) It is a violation of this code for a person to accept compensation from multiple states for the same examination, if doing so results in duplicative costs to the insurer being examined. It is not a violation of this code for:
(1) an examiner to conduct an examination of an insurer for the benefit of multiple states in a coordinated examination; and
(2) the examiner to accept compensation from the states participating in the coordinated examination to reduce the examination costs to the insurer being examined.
