26-8-113. Duration and release of deposit.
(a) Any deposit an insurer makes in this state pursuant to this code, including assets held in another state under custodial arrangements permitted by W.S. 26-8-105(b), shall be held as long as:
(i) There is outstanding any liability of the insurer as to which the deposit was so required; or
(ii) The basis of retaliation exists if the deposit was required under W.S. 26-3-130.
(b) Upon a domestic insurer's request, the commissioner shall return to the insurer the whole or any portion of its assets held on deposit if the commissioner is satisfied that the assets to be returned are not subject to liability and are not required to be longer held by any provision of law or purposes of the original deposit. If the insurer has reinsured all its outstanding risks in another insurer authorized to transact insurance in this state, the commissioner shall deliver the assets and securities to the insurer assuming the risks, upon the domestic insurer's written notice that the assets have been assigned and transferred to the reinsuring insurer. The notice shall be accompanied by a verified copy of the assignment or transfer.
(c) The commissioner shall return any deposit made in this state by a foreign insurer, if that insurer ceases transacting insurance in this state and is not subject to any liability in this state for which the deposit was held.
(d) If the insurer is subject to delinquency proceedings as defined in W.S. 26-28-101, upon the order of a court of competent jurisdiction the commissioner shall yield the insurer's assets held on deposit to the insurer's receiver, conservator, rehabilitator or liquidator, or to any other properly designated official who succeeds to the management and control of the insurer's assets.
(e) No release of deposited assets shall be made except upon application to and the written order of the commissioner. The commissioner has no personal liability for any release of any deposit or part thereof he makes in good faith.
