(a) An association captive insurance company, risk retention group, and an industrial insured captive insurance company insuring the risks of an industrial insured group defined in paragraph b. of subdivision (19) of Section 27-31B-2 shall comply with the investment requirements contained in this title, as applicable; provided, however, that compliance with these investment requirements shall be waived for risk retention groups to the extent that credit for risks ceded to reinsurers is allowed pursuant to Section 27-31B-13 or to the extent otherwise deemed reasonable and appropriate by the commissioner. Chapter 37 of this title shall apply to association captives, risk retention groups, and industrial insured captive insurance companies insuring the risks of industrial insured groups defined in paragraph b. of subdivision (19) of Section 27-31B-2 except to the extent it is inconsistent with approved accounting standards in use by the association captive insurance company, risk retention group, or industrial insured captive insurance company insuring the risks of an industrial insured group as defined in paragraph b. of subdivision (19) of Section 27-31B-2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the commissioner may approve the use of alternative reliable methods of valuation and rating.
(b) No pure captive insurance company, agency captive insurance company, reinsurance captive company, special purpose financial captive insurance company, and industrial insured captive insurance company insuring the risks of an industrial insured group as defined in paragraph b. of subdivision (19) of Section 27-31B-2, or protected cell captive insurance company shall be subject to any restrictions on allowable investments whatever, including those limitations contained in Chapters 37 and 41. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the commissioner may prohibit or limit any investment that threatens the solvency or liquidity of the company.
(c) Only a pure captive insurance company or a protected cell captive insurance company may make loans to its parent company or affiliates. No loans to a parent company or any affiliate shall be permitted without prior written approval of the commissioner and must be evidenced by a note in a form approved by the commissioner. Loans of minimum capital and surplus funds required by Section 27-31B-6 are prohibited. Any loan made by a protected cell captive insurance company must be made from funds in the company's general account.
