Section 59A-43-9 - Duties and powers of superintendentA. The superintendent shall: (1) serve on the association a copy of any complaint seeking an order of liquidation with a finding of insolvency against a member insurer at the same time that such complaint is filed with a court of competent jurisdiction; (2) notify the association of the existence of an insolvent insurer not later than three (3) days after he receives notice of the determination of the insolvency; and (3) upon request of the board of directors, provide the association with a statement of the net direct written premiums of each member insurer. B. The superintendent may: (1) require that the association, and agents of the insurer in New Mexico as to policyholders of the insurer in this state, notify the insureds of the insolvent insurer and any other interested parties of the determination of insolvency and of their rights under this article. Such notification shall be by mail at their last known address, where available, but if sufficient information for notification by mail is not available, notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation shall be sufficient; (2) suspend or revoke, after notice and hearing, the certificate of authority to transact insurance in this state of any member insurer which fails to pay an assessment when due or fails to comply with the plan of operation. As an alternative, the superintendent may levy a civil penalty on any member insurer which fails to pay an assessment when due. The civil penalty shall not exceed five percent of the unpaid assessment per month, except that no civil penalty shall be less than one hundred dollars ($100) a month; and (3) revoke the designation of any servicing facility if he finds claims are being handled unsatisfactorily.
