(B) triggers the trend test determined in accordance with the trend test calculation included in the health RBC instructions;

(b) the notification by the commissioner to the insurer of an adjusted RBC report that indicates an event in subsection (1)(a) if the insurer does not challenge the adjusted RBC report under 33-2-1908 or if the commissioner has rejected the insurer's challenge.

(2) In the event of a company action level event, the insurer shall prepare and submit to the commissioner an RBC plan that must:

(b) contain proposals of corrective actions that the insurer intends to take and that would be expected to result in the elimination of the company action level event;

(c) provide projections of the insurer's financial results in the current year and at least the next 4 years, both in the absence of proposed corrective actions and giving effect to the proposed corrective actions, including projections of statutory operating income, net income, capital, and surplus. The projections for both new and renewal business may include separate projections for each major line of business and separately identify each significant income, expense, and benefit component.

(d) identify the key assumptions impacting the insurer's projections and the sensitivity of the projections to the assumptions; and

(e) identify the quality of and problems associated with the insurer's business, including but not limited to its assets, anticipated business growth and associated surplus strain, extraordinary exposure to risk, mix of business, and use of reinsurance, if any, in each case.

(3) The RBC plan must be submitted:

(a) within 45 days of the company action level event; or

(b) if the insurer challenges an adjusted RBC report pursuant to 33-2-1908, within 45 days after notification to the insurer that the commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the insurer's challenge.

(4) Within 60 days after an insurer submits an RBC plan to the commissioner, the commissioner shall notify the insurer as to whether the RBC plan may be implemented or is unsatisfactory in the judgment of the commissioner. If the commissioner determines that the RBC plan is unsatisfactory, the notification to the insurer must set forth the reasons for the determination and may propose revisions intended to render the RBC plan satisfactory in the judgment of the commissioner. Upon notification from the commissioner, the insurer shall prepare a revised RBC plan, which may incorporate by reference any revisions proposed by the commissioner, and shall submit the revised RBC plan to the commissioner:

(a) within 45 days after the notification from the commissioner; or

(b) if the insurer challenges the notification from the commissioner under 33-2-1908, within 45 days after a notification to the insurer that the commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the insurer's challenge.

(5) If the commissioner notifies an insurer that the insurer's RBC plan or revised RBC plan is unsatisfactory, the commissioner may, at the commissioner's discretion, subject to the insurer's right to a hearing under 33-2-1908, specify in the notification that the notification constitutes a regulatory action level event.

(6) Each domestic insurer that files an RBC plan or revised RBC plan with the commissioner shall file a copy of the RBC plan or revised RBC plan with the insurance commissioner in any state in which the insurer is authorized to do business if:

(a) the state has an RBC provision substantially similar to 33-2-1909(1); and

(b) the insurance commissioner of that state has notified the insurer in writing of its request for the filing, in which case the insurer shall file a copy of the RBC plan or revised RBC plan in that state by the later of:

(i) 15 days after the receipt of notice to file a copy of its RBC plan or revised RBC plan with that state; or

(ii) the date on which the RBC plan or revised RBC plan is filed under subsections (3) and (4).
