(a) Any foreign insurer shall, upon the written request of the Commissioner, submit to the Commissioner an RBC report as of the end of the previous calendar year the later of:
(1) The date an RBC report would be required to be filed by a domestic insurer under this chapter; or
(2) Fifteen days after the request is received by the foreign insurer.
(b) Any foreign insurer shall, at the written request of the Commissioner, promptly submit to the Commissioner a copy of any RBC plan that is filed with the insurance commissioner of any other state.
(c) In the event of a company action level event, regulatory action level event, or authorized control level event with respect to any foreign insurer as determined under the RBC statute applicable in the state of domicile of the insurer, or, if no RBC statute is in force in that state, under the provisions of this chapter, if the insurance commissioner of the state of domicile of the foreign insurer fails to require the foreign insurer to file an RBC plan in the manner specified under that state's RBC statute, or, if no RBC statute is in force in that state, under Code Section 33-56-2, the Commissioner may require the foreign insurer to file an RBC plan with the Commissioner. In such event, the failure of the foreign insurer to file an RBC plan with the Commissioner shall be grounds to order the insurer to cease and desist from writing new insurance business in this state.
(d) In the event of a mandatory control level event with respect to any foreign insurer, if no domiciliary receiver has been appointed with respect to the foreign insurer under the rehabilitation and liquidation statute applicable in the state of domicile of the foreign insurer, the Commissioner may make application to the superior court permitted under Chapter 37 of this title with respect to the liquidation of property of foreign insurers found in this state, and the occurrence of the mandatory control level event shall be considered adequate grounds for the application.
(e) The primary responsibility for requiring a domestic insurer to submit RBC reports and take any corrective action rests exclusively with the Commissioner. If, in the judgment of the Commissioner, a domestic insurer has responded promptly and adequately to the department according to the requirements of this Code section, then such domestic insurer should be exempt from responding to separate requests for reports or corrective action from the commissioner of insurance of any other state where the domestic insurer does business. The domestic insurer may request that the information supplied to the Commissioner be shared with the insurance commissioner of any other state, and such information should be accepted by such other insurance commissioner in recognition of the Georgia Commissioner's primary responsibility for, and oversight of, the risk-based capital law as it pertains to domestic insurers.
(f) If the Commissioner determines that a domestic insurer is still being required to respond to separate requests for reports or corrective action under the terms of this Code section, then such request shall constitute prima-facie evidence that such other state is imposing a requirement which exceeds the requirements imposed by Georgia law, triggering the provisions of the retaliatory law in Code Section 33-3-26. In such cases, the Commissioner is thereupon authorized to require separate risk-based capital reports or corrective action requirements from each and every insurer doing business in Georgia whose home state commissioner has imposed such requirements on any Georgia domestic insurer.
