Section 38-9-340 - Regulatory Action Level Event defined; duties of director; corrective action(A) A "Regulatory Action Level Event" includes any one of the following events: (1) filing of an RBC Report which indicates that Total Adjusted Capital is greater than, or equal to, Authorized Control Level RBC, but is less than Regulatory Action Level RBC;(2) issuance of an Adjusted RBC Report that indicates the event in Section 38-9-340(A)(1), provided that the licensee does not challenge that Adjusted RBC Report pursuant to Section 38-9-370. If the licensee challenges an Adjusted RBC Report, then the Regulatory Action Level Event occurs upon notification that an administrative law judge has rejected the challenge;(3) failure to file an RBC Report by the March first filing date, unless the licensee has filed an explanation for this failure that is satisfactory to the director and has cured the failure within ten days after the March first filing date;(4) failure to timely submit an RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan to the director;(5) notification that the RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan is, in the judgment of the director, unsatisfactory and that the notification constitutes a Regulatory Action Level Event, provided that the licensee does not challenge the determination under Section 38-9-370. If the licensee challenges a determination, then the Regulatory Action Level Event occurs upon notification that an administrative law judge has rejected the challenge;(6) notification by the director that the licensee has failed to adhere to its RBC Plan or its Revised RBC Plan. However, notification must conclude that the failure has had substantial adverse effect upon the ability of the licensee to eliminate the Company Action Level Event in accordance with its RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan, provided that the licensee has not challenged the determination pursuant to Section 38-9-370. If the licensee challenges a determination, then the Regulatory Action Level Event occurs upon notification that an administrative law judge has rejected the challenge.(B) In the event of a Regulatory Action Level Event, the director must:(1) require the licensee to prepare and submit an RBC Plan or a Revised RBC Plan;(2) perform an examination or an analysis of the assets, liabilities, and operations of the licensee, including a review of the licensee's RBC Plan or its Revised RBC Plan; and(3) issue a Corrective Order detailing corrective actions which the director determines are required.(C) In determining corrective actions, the director may take into account factors which he considers relevant based upon his examination or analysis. Those factors may include, but must not be limited to, the results of any sensitivity tests undertaken pursuant to the RBC Instructions.(D) The RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan must be submitted within forty-five days after the occurrence of the Regulatory Action Level Event. If the licensee challenges an Adjusted RBC Report or a Revised RBC Plan pursuant to Section 38-9-370, then the RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan must be submitted within forty-five days after notification that an administrative law judge has rejected the challenge.Amended by 2014 S.C.
