§ 36-2132. Reinsurance, stock insurers.

A.  A domestic stock insurer may accept reinsurance for the same kind of insurance and within the same limits as it is authorized to transact direct, unless such reinsurance is prohibited by its articles of incorporation.

B.  A domestic stock insurer may reinsure all or substantially all its business in force, or substantially all of a major class thereof, with another insurer by an agreement of bulk reinsurance; but no such agreement shall become effective unless filed with and approved in writing by the Commissioner.

C.  The Commissioner shall approve such agreement within a reasonable time after such filing unless the Commissioner finds that the agreement would substantially reduce the protection or service to the policyholders of the insurer.  If the Commissioner does not approve the agreement, he shall so notify the insurer in writing specifying his reasons therefor.
