proxies representing, ten percent or more of the voting securities of any other
person. This presumption may be rebutted
by a showing made in the manner provided by section 60D.19, subdivision 11,
that control does not exist in fact. The
commissioner may determine, after furnishing all persons in interest notice and
opportunity to be heard and making specific findings of fact to support such
the determination, that control exists in fact, notwithstanding the
absence of a presumption to that effect.

preferred stock, debt obligations, and other securities of one or more
subsidiaries engaged or organized to engage exclusively in the ownership and
management of assets authorized as investments for the insurer provided that
the subsidiary agrees to limit its investments in any asset so that the
investments will do not cause the amount of the total investment
of the insurer to exceed any of the investment limitations specified in
paragraph (a) or other statutes applicable to the insurer. For the purpose of this paragraph, "the
total investment of the insurer" includes:
(1) any direct investment by the insurer in an asset; and
(2) the insurer's proportionate share of any investment in an asset by any subsidiary of the insurer, which must be calculated by multiplying the amount of the subsidiary's investment by the percentage of the ownership of the subsidiary.

or other securities of one or more subsidiaries, if after the investment the
insurer's surplus as regards policyholders will be is reasonable
in relation to the insurer's outstanding liabilities and adequate to its
financial needs.

controlling person of a domestic insurer seeking to divest its controlling
interest in the domestic insurer, in any manner, shall file with the
commissioner, with a copy to the insurer, confidential notice of its proposed
divestiture at least 30 days before the cessation of control. The commissioner shall determine those
instances in which the party or parties seeking to divest or to acquire a
controlling interest in an insurer will be required to file for and obtain approval
of the transaction. The information
must remain confidential until the conclusion of the transaction unless the
commissioner, in the commissioner's discretion, determines that confidential
treatment interferes with the enforcement of this section. This paragraph does not apply if the
statement referred to in paragraph (a) is otherwise filed.
(c) With respect to a transaction subject to this section, the acquiring person must also file a preacquisition notification with the commissioner, which must contain the information set forth in section 60D.18, subdivision 3, paragraph (b).

Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 60D.18, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
Subd. 3. Preacquisition
notification; waiting period. (a) An
acquisition covered by subdivision 2 may be subject to an order pursuant to
subdivision 4 5 unless the acquiring person files a
preacquisition notification and the waiting period has expired. The acquired person may file a preacquisition
notification. The commissioner shall
give confidential treatment to information submitted under this section in the
same manner as provided in section 60D.22.
(b) The preacquisition notification must
be in the form and contain the information as prescribed by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners relating to those markets that, under
subdivision 2, paragraph (b), clause (5) (4) , cause the
acquisition not to be exempted from the provisions of this section. The commissioner may require the
additional material and information as the commissioner deems necessary to
determine whether the proposed acquisition, if consummated, would violate the
competitive standard of subdivision 4. The
required information may include an opinion of an economist as to the
competitive impact of the acquisition in this state accompanied by a summary of

Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 60D.19, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:
Subd. 11b. Group
capital calculation. (a)
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the ultimate controlling person
of every insurer subject to registration must concurrently file with the
registration an annual group capital calculation as directed by the lead state
insurance commissioner. The report must
be completed in accordance with the NAIC group capital calculation
instructions, which may permit the lead state insurance commissioner to allow a
controlling person that is not the ultimate controlling person to file the
group capital calculation. The report
must be filed with the lead state insurance commissioner of the insurance
holding company system, as determined by the commissioner in accordance with
the procedures within the Financial Analysis Handbook adopted by the NAIC. The following insurance holding company
systems are exempt from filing the group capital calculation:
(1) an insurance holding company system
that (i) has only one insurer within the insurance holding company system's
holding company structure, (ii) only writes business and is only licensed in
the insurance holding company system's domestic state, and (iii) assumes no
business from any other insurer;
(2) an insurance holding company system
that is required to perform a group capital calculation specified by the United
States Federal Reserve Board. The lead
state insurance commissioner must request the calculation from the Federal
Reserve Board under the terms of information sharing agreements in effect. If the Federal Reserve Board is unable to
share the calculation with the lead state insurance commissioner, the insurance
holding company system is not exempt from the group capital calculation filing;
(3) an insurance holding company system
whose non-United States groupwide supervisor is located within a reciprocal
jurisdiction as described in section 60A.092, subdivision 10b, that recognizes
the United States state regulatory approach to group supervision and group
capital; or
(4) an insurance holding company
system:
(i) that provides information to the
lead state insurance commissioner that meets the requirements for accreditation
under the NAIC financial standards and accreditation program, either directly
or indirectly through the groupwide supervisor, that has determined the
information is satisfactory to allow the lead state insurance commissioner to
comply with the NAIC group supervision approach, as detailed in the NAIC
Financial Analysis Handbook; and
(ii) whose non-United States groupwide
supervisor that is not in a reciprocal jurisdiction recognizes and accepts, as
specified by the commissioner in an administrative rule, the group capital
calculation as the worldwide group capital assessment for United States
insurance groups that operate in that jurisdiction.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a),
clauses (3) and (4), a lead state insurance commissioner must require the group
capital calculation for the United States operations of any non-United States
based insurance holding company system where, after any necessary consultation
with other supervisors or officials, requiring the group capital calculation is
deemed appropriate by the lead state insurance commissioner for prudential
oversight and solvency monitoring purposes or for ensuring the competitiveness
of the insurance marketplace.
(c) Notwithstanding
the exemptions from filing the group capital calculation under paragraph (a),
the lead state insurance commissioner may exempt the ultimate controlling
person from filing the annual group capital calculation or accept a limited
group capital filing or report in accordance with criteria specified by the
commissioner in an administrative rule.
(d) If the lead state insurance
commissioner determines that an insurance holding company system no longer
meets one or more of the requirements for an exemption from filing the group
capital calculation under this subdivision, the insurance holding company
system must file the group capital calculation at the next annual filing date
unless given an extension by the lead state insurance commissioner based on
reasonable grounds shown.
Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 60D.19, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:
Subd. 11c. Liquidity
stress test. (a) The ultimate
controlling person of every insurer subject to registration and also scoped
into the NAIC liquidity stress test framework must file the results of a
specific year's liquidity stress test. The
filing must be made to the lead state insurance commissioner of the insurance
holding company system, as determined by the procedures within the Financial
Analysis Handbook adopted by the NAIC.
(b) The NAIC liquidity stress test
framework includes scope criteria applicable to a specific data year. The scope criteria must be reviewed at least
annually by the NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or the NAIC Financial
Stability Task Force's successor. Any
change made to the NAIC liquidity stress test framework or to the data year for
which the scope criteria must be measured is effective January 1 of the year
following the calendar year in which the change is adopted. An insurer meeting at least one threshold of
the scope criteria is scoped into the NAIC liquidity stress test framework for
the specified data year unless the lead state insurance commissioner, in
consultation with the NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or the NAIC Financial
Stability Task Force's successor, determines the insurer should not be scoped
into the framework for that data year. An
insurer that does not trigger at least one threshold of the scope criteria is
scoped out of the NAIC liquidity stress test framework for the specified data
year unless the lead state insurance commissioner, in consultation with the
NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or the NAIC Financial Stability Task
Force's successor, determines the insurer should be scoped into the framework
for the specified data year.
(c) The commissioner and other state
insurance commissioners must avoid scoping insurers in and out of the NAIC
liquidity stress test framework on a frequent basis. The lead state insurance commissioner, in
consultation with the NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or the NAIC Financial
Stability Task Force's successor, must assess irregular scope status as part of
an insurer's determination.
(d) The performance of and filing of
the results from a specific year's liquidity stress test must comply with (1)
the NAIC liquidity stress test framework's instructions and reporting templates
for the specific year, and (2) any lead state insurance commissioner
determinations, in consultation with the NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or
the NAIC Financial Stability Task Force's successor, provided within the
framework.
Sec. 15. [60D.195]
GROUP CAPITAL CALCULATION.
Subdivision 1. Annual
group capital calculation; exemption permitted. The lead state insurance commissioner
may exempt the ultimate controlling person from filing the annual group capital
calculation if the lead state insurance commissioner makes a determination that
the insurance holding company system meets the following criteria:
(1) has annual direct written and
unaffiliated assumed premium, including international direct and assumed
premium but excluding premiums reinsured with the Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation and Federal Flood Program, of less than $1,000,000,000;
(2) has no insurers
within the insurance holding company's structure that are domiciled outside of
the United States or a United States territory;
(3) has no banking, depository, or
other financial entity that is subject to an identified regulatory capital
framework within the insurance holding company's structure;
(4) attests that no material changes in
the transactions between insurers and noninsurers in the group have occurred
since the last annual group capital filing; and
(5) the noninsurers within the holding
company system do not pose a material financial risk to the insurer's ability
to honor policyholder obligations.
Subd. 2. Limited
group capital filing. The
lead state insurance commissioner may accept a limited group capital filing in
lieu of the group capital calculation if:
(1) the insurance holding company
system has annual direct written and unaffiliated assumed premium, including
international direct and assumed premium but excluding premiums reinsured with
the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and Federal Flood Program, of less than
$1,000,000,000; and
(2) the insurance holding company
system:
(i) has no insurers within the
insurance holding company's structure that are domiciled outside of the United
States or a United States territory;
(ii) does not include a banking,
depository, or other financial entity that is subject to an identified
regulatory capital framework; and
(iii) attests that no material changes
in transactions between insurers and noninsurers in the group have occurred and
the noninsurers within the holding company system do not pose a material
financial risk to the insurer's ability to honor policyholder obligations.
Subd. 3. Previous
exemption; required filing. For
an insurance holding company that has previously met an exemption with respect
to the group capital calculation under subdivision 1 or 2, the lead state
insurance commissioner may at any time require the ultimate controlling person
to file an annual group capital calculation, completed in accordance with the
NAIC group capital calculation instructions, if:
(1) an insurer within the insurance
holding company system is in a risk-based capital action level event under
section 60A.62 or a similar standard for a non-United States insurer;
(2) an insurer within the insurance
holding company system meets one or more of the standards of an insurer deemed
to be in hazardous financial condition, as defined under section 60E.02,
subdivision 5; or
(3) an insurer within the insurance
holding company system otherwise exhibits qualities of a troubled insurer, as
determined by the lead state insurance commissioner based on unique
circumstances, including but not limited to the type and volume of business
written, ownership and organizational structure, federal agency requests, and
international supervisor requests.
Subd. 4. Non-United
States jurisdictions; recognition and acceptance. A non-United States jurisdiction is
deemed to recognize and accept the group capital calculation if the non-United
States jurisdiction:
(1) with respect to section 60D.19,
subdivision 11b, paragraph (a), clause (4):
(i) recognizes the United States state
regulatory approach to group supervision and group capital by providing
confirmation by a competent regulatory authority in the non-United States
jurisdiction that insurers and insurance groups whose lead state is accredited
by the NAIC under the NAIC accreditation program: (A) are subject only to worldwide prudential
insurance group supervision, including worldwide group governance, solvency and
capital, and reporting, as applicable, by the lead state; and (B) are not
subject to group supervision, including worldwide group governance, solvency
and capital, and reporting, at the level of the worldwide parent undertaking of
the insurance or reinsurance group by the non-United States jurisdiction; or
(ii) if no United States insurance
group operates in the non-United States jurisdiction, indicates formally in
writing to the lead state with a copy to the International Association of
Insurance Supervisors that the group capital calculation is an acceptable
international capital standard. The
formal indication under this item serves as the documentation otherwise
required under item (i); and
(2) provides confirmation by a
competent regulatory authority in the non-United States jurisdiction that
information regarding an insurer and the insurer's parent, subsidiary, or
affiliated entities, if applicable, must be provided to the lead state
insurance commissioner in accordance with a memorandum of understanding or
similar document between the commissioner and the non-United States
jurisdiction, including but not limited to the International Association of
Insurance Supervisors Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding or other
multilateral memoranda of understanding coordinated by the NAIC. The commissioner must determine, in
consultation with the NAIC committee process, if the information sharing
agreement requirements are effective.
Subd. 5. Non-United
States jurisdiction; publication. (a)
A list of non-United States jurisdictions that recognize and accept the group
capital calculation under section 60D.19, subdivision 11b, paragraph (a),
clause (4), must be published through the NAIC committee process to assist the
lead state insurance commissioner determine what insurers must file an annual
group capital calculation. The list must
clarify the situations in which a jurisdiction is exempt from filing under
section 60D.19, subdivision 11b, paragraph (a), clause (4). To assist with a determination under section
60D.19, subdivision 11b, paragraph (b), the list must also identify whether a
jurisdiction that is exempt under section 60D.19, subdivision 11b, paragraph
(a), clause (3) or (4), requires a group capital filing for any United States
insurance group's operations in the non-United States jurisdiction.
(b) For a non-United States
jurisdiction where no United States insurance group operates, the confirmation
provided to comply with subdivision 4, clause (1), item (ii), serves as support
for a recommendation to be published that the non-United States jurisdiction is
a jurisdiction that recognizes and accepts the group capital calculation
pursuant to the NAIC committee process.
(c) If the lead state insurance
commissioner makes a determination pursuant to section 60D.19, subdivision 11b,
that differs from the NAIC list, the lead state insurance commissioner must
provide thoroughly documented justification to the NAIC and other states.
(d) Upon a determination by the lead
state insurance commissioner that a non-United States jurisdiction no longer
meets one or more of the requirements to recognize and accept the group capital
calculation, the lead state insurance commissioner may provide a recommendation
to the NAIC that the non-United States jurisdiction be removed from the list of
jurisdictions that recognize and accept the group capital calculation.
Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 60D.20, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. Transactions within an insurance holding company system. (a) Transactions within an insurance holding company system to which an insurer subject to registration is a party are subject to the following standards:
(1) the terms shall be fair and reasonable;
(2) agreements for cost-sharing services and management shall include the provisions required by rule issued by the commissioner;
(3) charges or fees for services performed shall be reasonable;

each party to all such transactions shall be so maintained as to clearly and
accurately disclose the nature and details of the transactions including this
accounting information as is necessary to support the reasonableness of the
charges or fees to the respective parties; and
(6) the insurer's surplus as regards
policyholders following any dividends or distributions to shareholder
affiliates shall be reasonable in relation to the insurer's outstanding
liabilities and adequate to its financial needs.;
(7) if the commissioner determines an
insurer subject to this chapter is in a hazardous financial condition, as
defined under section 60E.02, subdivision 5, or a condition that would be
grounds for supervision, conservation, or a delinquency proceeding, the
commissioner may require the insurer to secure and maintain either a deposit,
held by the commissioner, or a bond, as determined by the insurer at the
insurer's discretion, to protect the insurer for the duration of the contract,
agreement, or the existence of the condition for which the commissioner
required the deposit or bond. When
determining whether a deposit or bond is required, the commissioner must consider
whether concerns exist with respect to the affiliated person's ability to
fulfill the contract or agreement if the insurer entered into liquidation. Once the insurer is deemed to be in a
hazardous financial condition or a condition that would be grounds for
supervision, conservation, or a delinquency proceeding, and a deposit or bond
is necessary, the commissioner may determine the amount of the deposit or bond,
not to exceed the value of the contract or agreement in any one year, and
whether the deposit or bond is required for a single contract, multiple
contracts, or a contract only with a specific person or persons;
(8) all of an insurer's records and data
held by an affiliate are and remain the property of the insurer, are subject to
control of the insurer, are identifiable, and are segregated or readily capable
of segregation, at no additional cost to the insurer, from all other persons'
records and data. For purposes of this
clause, records and data include all records and data that are otherwise the
property of the insurer in whatever form maintained, including but not limited
to claims and claim files, policyholder lists, application files, litigation
files, premium records, rate books, underwriting manuals, personnel records,
financial records, or similar records within the affiliate's possession,
custody, or control. At the request of
the insurer, the affiliate must provide that the receiver may (i) obtain a
complete set of all records of any type that pertain to the insurer's business,
(ii) obtain access to the operating systems on which the data are maintained,
(iii) obtain the software that runs the operating systems either through
assumption of licensing agreements or otherwise, and (iv) restrict the use of
the data by the affiliate if the affiliate is not operating the insurer's
business. The affiliate must provide a
waiver of any landlord lien or other encumbrance to provide the insurer access
to all records and data in the event the affiliate defaults under a lease or
other agreement; and
(9) premiums or other funds belonging to
the insurer that are collected or held by an affiliate are the exclusive
property of the insurer and are subject to the control of the insurer. Any right of offset in the event an insurer
is placed into receivership is subject to chapter 576.
(1) sales, purchases, exchanges, loans or extensions of credit, guarantees, or investments provided the transactions are equal to or exceed: (i) with respect to nonlife insurers, the lesser of three percent of the insurer's admitted assets, or 25 percent of surplus as regards policyholders; (ii) with respect to life insurers, three percent of the insurer's admitted assets; each as of the 31st day of December next preceding;
(2) loans or extensions of credit to any person who is not an affiliate, where the insurer makes the loans or extensions of credit with the agreement or understanding that the proceeds of the transactions, in whole or in substantial part, are to be used to make loans or extensions of credit to, to purchase assets of, or to make investments in, any affiliate of the insurer making such loans or extensions of credit provided the transactions are equal to or exceed: (i) with respect to nonlife insurers, the lesser of three percent of the insurer's admitted assets or 25 percent of surplus as regards policyholders; (ii) with respect to life insurers, three percent of the insurer's admitted assets; each as of the 31st day of December next preceding;
(3) reinsurance agreements or modifications
to those agreements, including: (i) all
reinsurance pooling agreements; and (ii) agreements in which the reinsurance
premium or a change in the insurer's liabilities, or the projected reinsurance
premium or a change in the insurer's liabilities in any of the next three
years, equals or exceeds five percent of the insurer's surplus as regards
policyholders, as of the 31st day of December next preceding, including those
agreements which may require as consideration the transfer of assets from an
insurer to a nonaffiliate, if an agreement or understanding exists between the
insurer and nonaffiliate that any portion of such the assets will
be transferred to one or more affiliates of the insurer;
(4) all management agreements, service contracts, tax allocation agreements, guarantees, and all cost-sharing arrangements;
(5) guarantees when made by a domestic insurer; provided, however, that a guarantee which is quantifiable as to amount is not subject to the notice requirements of this paragraph unless it exceeds the lesser of one-half of one percent of the insurer's admitted assets or ten percent of surplus as regards policyholders as of the 31st day of December next preceding. Further, all guarantees which are not quantifiable as to amount are subject to the notice requirements of this paragraph;
(6) direct or indirect acquisitions or investments in a person that controls the insurer or in an affiliate of the insurer in an amount which, together with its present holdings in the investments, exceeds 2-1/2 percent of the insurer's surplus to policyholders. Direct or indirect acquisitions or investments in subsidiaries acquired pursuant to section 60D.16, as otherwise authorized under this chapter, or in nonsubsidiary insurance affiliates that are subject to the provisions of sections 60D.15 to 60D.29, are exempt from this requirement; and
(7) any material transactions, specified by regulation, which the commissioner determines may adversely affect the interests of the insurer's policyholders.
Nothing contained in this section authorizes or permits any transactions that, in the case of an insurer not a member of the same insurance holding company system, would be otherwise contrary to law.
(c) A domestic insurer may not enter into transactions which are part of a plan or series of like transactions with persons within the insurance holding company system if the purpose of those separate transactions is to avoid the statutory threshold amount and thus avoid the review that would occur otherwise. If the commissioner determines that the separate transactions were entered into over any 12-month period for the purpose, the commissioner may exercise the authority under section 60D.25.
(e) The commissioner shall be notified within 30 days of any investment of the domestic insurer in any one corporation if the total investment in the corporation by the insurance holding company system exceeds ten percent of the corporation's voting securities.
(f) An affiliate that is party to an
agreement or contract with a domestic insurer that is subject to paragraph (b),
clause (4), is subject to the jurisdiction of any supervision, seizure,
conservatorship, or receivership proceedings against the insurer and to the
authority of a supervisor, conservator, rehabilitator, or liquidator for the
insurer appointed pursuant to chapters 60B and 576 for the purpose of
interpreting, enforcing, and overseeing the affiliate's obligations under the
agreement or contract to perform services for the insurer that are: (1) an integral part of the insurer's
operations, including but not limited to management, administrative,
accounting, data processing, marketing, underwriting, claims handling,
investment, or any other similar functions; or (2) essential to the insurer's
ability to fulfill the insurer's obligations under insurance policies. The commissioner may require that an
agreement or contract pursuant to paragraph (b), clause (4), to provide the
services described in clauses (1) and (2) must specify that the affiliate
consents to the jurisdiction as provided under this paragraph.
Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 60D.217, is amended to read:
60D.217
GROUPWIDE SUPERVISION OF INTERNATIONALLY ACTIVE INSURANCE GROUPS.
(a) The commissioner is authorized to act as the groupwide supervisor for any internationally active insurance group in accordance with the provisions of this section. However, the commissioner may otherwise acknowledge another regulatory official as the groupwide supervisor where the internationally active insurance group:
(1) does not have substantial insurance operations in the United States;
(2) has substantial insurance operations in the United States, but not in this state; or
(3) has substantial insurance operations
in the United States and this state, but the commissioner has determined
pursuant to the factors set forth in subsections paragraphs (b)
and (f) that the other regulatory official is the appropriate groupwide
supervisor.
An insurance holding company system that does not otherwise qualify as an internationally active insurance group may request that the commissioner make a determination or acknowledgment as to a groupwide supervisor pursuant to this section.
(b) In cooperation with other state,
federal, and international regulatory agencies, the commissioner will must
identify a single groupwide supervisor for an internationally active insurance
group. The commissioner may determine
that the commissioner is the appropriate groupwide supervisor for an
internationally active insurance group that conducts substantial insurance
operations concentrated in this state. However,
the commissioner may acknowledge that a regulatory official from another
jurisdiction is the appropriate groupwide supervisor for the internationally
active insurance group. The commissioner
shall consider the following factors when making a determination or
acknowledgment under this subsection paragraph:
(1) the place of domicile of the insurers within the internationally active insurance group that hold the largest share of the group's written premiums, assets, or liabilities;
(3) the location of the executive offices or largest operational offices of the internationally active insurance group;
(4) whether another regulatory official is acting or is seeking to act as the groupwide supervisor under a regulatory system that the commissioner determines to be:
(i) substantially similar to the system of regulation provided under the laws of this state; or
(ii) otherwise sufficient in terms of providing for groupwide supervision, enterprise risk analysis, and cooperation with other regulatory officials; and
(5) whether another regulatory official acting or seeking to act as the groupwide supervisor provides the commissioner with reasonably reciprocal recognition and cooperation.
However, a commissioner identified under this section as the groupwide supervisor may determine that it is appropriate to acknowledge another supervisor to serve as the groupwide supervisor. The acknowledgment of the groupwide supervisor shall be made after consideration of the factors listed in clauses (1) to (5), and shall be made in cooperation with and subject to the acknowledgment of other regulatory officials involved with supervision of members of the internationally active insurance group, and in consultation with the internationally active insurance group.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when another regulatory official is acting as the groupwide supervisor of an internationally active insurance group, the commissioner shall acknowledge that regulatory official as the groupwide supervisor. However, in the event of a material change in the internationally active insurance group that results in:
(1) the internationally active insurance group's insurers domiciled in this state holding the largest share of the group's premiums, assets, or liabilities; or
(2) this state being the place of domicile
of the top-tiered insurer(s) insurer or insurers in the insurance
holding company system of the internationally active insurance group,
the commissioner shall make a determination or acknowledgment
as to the appropriate groupwide supervisor for such an internationally active
insurance group pursuant to subsection paragraph (b).
(d) Pursuant to section 60D.21, the commissioner is authorized to collect from any insurer registered pursuant to section 60D.19 all information necessary to determine whether the commissioner may act as the groupwide supervisor of an internationally active insurance group or if the commissioner may acknowledge another regulatory official to act as the groupwide supervisor. Prior to issuing a determination that an internationally active insurance group is subject to groupwide supervision by the commissioner, the commissioner shall notify the insurer registered pursuant to section 60D.19 and the ultimate controlling person within the internationally active insurance group. The internationally active insurance group shall have not less than 30 days to provide the commissioner with additional information pertinent to the pending determination. The commissioner shall publish in the State Register and on the department's website the identity of internationally active insurance groups that the commissioner has determined are subject to groupwide supervision by the commissioner.
(e) If the commissioner is the groupwide supervisor for an internationally active insurance group, the commissioner is authorized to engage in any of the following groupwide supervision activities:
(i) the material financial condition and liquidity risks to the members of the internationally active insurance group that are engaged in the business of insurance are identified by management; and
(ii) reasonable and effective mitigation measures are in place; or
(2) request, from any member of an internationally active insurance group subject to the commissioner's supervision, information necessary and appropriate to assess enterprise risk, including but not limited to information about the members of the internationally active insurance group regarding:
(i) governance, risk assessment, and management;
(ii) capital adequacy; and
(iii) material intercompany transactions;
(3) coordinate and, through the authority of
the regulatory officials of the jurisdictions where members of the
internationally active insurance group are domiciled, compel development and
implementation of reasonable measures designed to ensure that the
internationally active insurance group is able to timely recognize and mitigate
enterprise risks to members of such the internationally active
insurance group that are engaged in the business of insurance;
(4) communicate with other state, federal and international regulatory agencies for members within the internationally active insurance group and share relevant information subject to the confidentiality provisions of section 60D.22, through supervisory colleges as set forth in section 60D.215 or otherwise;
(5) enter into agreements with or obtain
documentation from any insurer registered under section 60D.19, any member of
the internationally active insurance group, and any other state, federal, and
international regulatory agencies for members of the internationally active
insurance group, providing the basis for or otherwise clarifying the
commissioner's role as groupwide supervisor, including provisions for resolving
disputes with other regulatory officials.
Such Agreements or documentation under this clause shall
not serve as evidence in any proceeding that any insurer or person within an
insurance holding company system not domiciled or incorporated in this state is
doing business in this state or is otherwise subject to jurisdiction in this
state; and
(6) other groupwide supervision activities, consistent with the authorities and purposes enumerated above, as considered necessary by the commissioner.
(f) If the commissioner acknowledges that another regulatory official from a jurisdiction that is not accredited by the NAIC is the groupwide supervisor, the commissioner is authorized to reasonably cooperate, through supervisory colleges or otherwise, with groupwide supervision undertaken by the groupwide supervisor, provided that:
(1) the commissioner's cooperation is in compliance with the laws of this state; and
(2) the regulatory official acknowledged as
the groupwide supervisor also recognizes and cooperates with the commissioner's
activities as a groupwide supervisor for other internationally active insurance
groups where applicable. Where such
recognition and cooperation by the groupwide supervisor is not
reasonably reciprocal, the commissioner is authorized to refuse recognition and
cooperation.
(h) A registered insurer subject to this section shall be liable for and shall pay the reasonable expenses of the commissioner's participation in the administration of this section, including the engagement of attorneys, actuaries, and any other professionals and all reasonable travel expenses.
