A. Any foreign insurer or health organization shall, upon the superintendent's written request, submit to the superintendent a risk-based capital report, as of the end of the most recent calendar year, on the same date risk-based capital reports are required to be filed by domestic insurers and health organizations under the Risk-Based Capital Act or fifteen days after the request is received by the foreign insurer or health organization, whichever is later. Any foreign insurer or health organization shall, upon the superintendent's written request, promptly submit to the superintendent a copy of any risk-based capital plan filed with the insurance commissioner of any other state.

B. In the event of a company action level event, regulatory action level event or authorized control level event with respect to any foreign insurer or health organization as determined pursuant to the risk-based capital statute applicable in an insurer's or health organization's state of domicile, or, if no risk-based capital requirements are in force in that state, under the provisions of the Risk-Based Capital Act, the superintendent may require the foreign insurer or health organization to file a risk-based capital plan with the superintendent unless the insurance commissioner of the insurer's or health organization's state of domicile has previously so required. The failure of the foreign insurer or health organization to timely file a risk-based capital plan with the superintendent shall be grounds to order the insurer or health organization to cease and desist from writing new insurance business in this state or to suspend or revoke its certificate of authority.

C. In the event of a mandatory control level event with respect to any foreign insurer or health organization, the superintendent may proceed in accordance with Subsection B of Section 59A-5A-7 NMSA 1978.
