23-90-118. Issuance of new or renewal policies.

(a) An insolvent insurer placed in receivership for which assessments have been made under the provisions of this chapter shall not be authorized, upon release from receivership, to issue new or renewal insurance policies until such time as the insolvent insurer has repaid in full the entire amount advanced to it from the assessment fund set out in 23-90-114. However, upon application of the Arkansas Property and Casualty Advisory Association and after a hearing, the Insurance Commissioner may permit the issuance of new policies in accordance with a plan of operations by the released insurer for repayment of the advances.

(b) In approving the plan, the commissioner may place such restrictions upon the issuance of new or renewal policies as the commissioner deems necessary to the implementation of the plan.

(c) The commissioner shall give ten (10) days' notice of the hearing to the insurers to whom the participation receipts were issued for an assessment made for the benefit of the released insurer. The holders of the receipts shall be entitled to appear at and participate in the hearing.
