Mich. Comp. Laws § 500.7711

Current through Public Act 64 of the 2024 Legislative Session
Section 500.7711 - Additional duties of commissioner; suspension or revocation of certificate of authority; forfeiture; appeal; judicial review; notice by liquidator, rehabilitator, or conservator
(1) In addition to the duties enumerated elsewhere in this chapter, the commissioner shall:
(a) Upon request of the board of directors, provide the association with a statement of the premiums in the appropriate states for each member insurer.
(b) When an impairment is declared and the amount of the impairment is determined, serve a demand upon the impaired insurer to make good the impairment within a reasonable time. Notice to the impaired insurer constitutes notice to that insurer's shareholders, if any. The failure of the insurer to promptly comply with the demand does not excuse the association from the performance of the association's powers and duties under this chapter.
(c) In a liquidation or rehabilitation proceeding involving a domestic insurer, be appointed as the liquidator or rehabilitator.
(2) In addition to the powers enumerated elsewhere in this chapter, the commissioner may suspend or revoke, after notice and hearing, the certificate of authority to transact insurance in this state of a member insurer that fails to pay an assessment when due or fails to comply with the plan of operation. As an alternative the commissioner may levy a forfeiture on a member insurer that fails to pay an assessment when due. The forfeiture shall not exceed 5% of the unpaid assessment per month, but forfeiture shall not be less than $100.00 per month.
(3) A final action by the board of directors or the association may be appealed to the commissioner by a member insurer if the appeal is taken within 60 days of its receipt of notice of the final action being appealed. A final action or order of the commissioner is subject to judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with this state's laws applying to actions or orders of the commissioner.
(4) The liquidator, rehabilitator, or conservator of an impaired insurer may notify all interested persons of the effect of this chapter.
