(a) If the Commissioner finds that the business of any licensed bail agent in this State has become financially impaired or insolvent, or has been abandoned by the licensee, or has been conducted in such a manner as to require or justify revocation of the licenses of that licensee, and if the Commissioner further finds that the conservation and administration of the business of the licensee would be in the public interest, he or she shall file in the Court of Chancery in the county in which the bail agent business is located a petition for the appointment of the Commissioner as conservator or receiver of such bail agent's business except by leave of the Court.
(b) The petition shall be verified by the Commissioner and shall set forth the facts and circumstances from which the existence of 1 or more of the grounds required under subsection (a) of this section may be determined; such petition may request that the licensee be required to show cause why the petition should not be granted.
(c) A copy of the petition and of the order to show cause, if they are issued, shall be served upon the licensee in the same manner as provided by law of this State for service of other legal process.
(d) Upon the filing of a petition and pending a hearing upon the order to show cause, the Court may, upon good cause shown and without notice to the other party, appoint the Commissioner as temporary conservator or receiver of the bail agent's business.
(e) The Commissioner shall, as conservator or receiver, be authorized and empowered to conduct and administer the affairs of the bail agent business in order to expeditiously terminate such business and, to the extent reasonably possible, to provide services and an accounting for funds to all persons previously insured or doing business with the bail agent, and to insurers who have previously been doing business through such bail agent. Subject to the Court's order, the Commissioner shall have the power to collect funds owed to the bail agent on account of insurance or other bail business transacted by him or her, and to account for and make payment of those funds to such persons as are entitled to them.
(f) The Commissioner may delegate the actual conduct and administration of the business of the bail agent and no charges for services so rendered shall be made against the funds or assets of the bail agent except by leave of the Court.
(g) Except as expressly herein provided, receivership or conservatorship shall be subject to the applicable laws of this State and to the order of any court of competent jurisdiction.
