An association that includes incorporated and individual unincorporated underwriters may be a certified reinsurer. In addition to satisfying the requirements of NRS 681A.1551, to be eligible for certification:
1. The association must satisfy its minimum capital and surplus requirements through the capital and surplus equivalents, net of liabilities, of the association and its members, which must include a joint central fund that may be applied to any unsatisfied obligation of the association or any of its members, in an amount determined by the Commissioner to provide adequate protection;
2. The incorporated members of the association must not engage in any business other than underwriting as a member of the association and are subject to the same level of regulation and solvency control by the association’s domiciliary regulator as are the unincorporated members; and
3. Within 90 days after its financial statements are due to be filed with the association’s domiciliary regulator, the association must provide to the Commissioner an annual certification by the association’s domiciliary regulator of the solvency of each underwriter member or, if a certification is unavailable, financial statements prepared by independent public accountants of each underwriter member.
