Authorized-control-level event.
Status: in_force

(1) “Authorized-control-level event” means any of the following:

(1) (a) The filing of a risk-based capital report by the insurer which indicates that the insurer’s total adjusted capital is greater than or equal to its mandatory-control-level risk-based capital but less than its authorized-control-level risk-based capital.

(1) (b) Notification by the commissioner to an insurer of an adjusted risk-based capital report that indicates the event in paragraph “a”, provided the insurer does not challenge the adjusted risk-based capital report and request a hearing pursuant to section 521E.7.

(1) (c) After a hearing pursuant to section 521E.7, notification by the commissioner to the insurer that the commissioner has rejected the insurer’s challenge of the adjusted risk-based capital report indicating the event in paragraph “a”.

(1) (d) Failure of the insurer to respond to a corrective order in a manner satisfactory to the commissioner, unless the insurer has challenged the corrective order pursuant to section 521E.7.

(1) (e) Failure of the insurer to respond to the corrective order in a manner satisfactory to the commissioner after the insurer has challenged the corrective order pursuant to section 521E.7, and the commissioner, after a hearing pursuant to section 521E.7, has rejected the challenge or modified the corrective order.

(2) In the event of an authorized-control-level event the commissioner shall do either of the following:

(2) (a) Take action as required pursuant to section 521E.4 in the same manner as if a regulatory-action-level event has occurred.

(2) (b) Take action as necessary to cause the insurer to be placed under supervision or other regulatory control under chapter 507C, if the commissioner deems such action to be in the best interests of the policyholders and creditors of the insurer and of the public. If the commissioner takes action pursuant to this paragraph, the authorized-control-level event is deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action pursuant to chapter 507C, and the commissioner has the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as set forth in chapter 507C. If the commissioner takes action under this paragraph pursuant to an adjusted risk-based capital report, the insurer is entitled to the protections afforded to insurers under the provisions of chapter 17A relating to summary proceedings.

Iowa Code § 29B.33 — IA Code / Title I / Chapter 29B / Section 29B.33
Investigation.
Status: in_force

(1) A charge or specification shall not be referred to a general court-martial for trial until a thorough and impartial investigation of all the matters set forth in the charge or specification is made. This investigation shall include inquiry as to the truth of the matter set forth in the charges, consideration of the form of charges, and a recommendation as to the disposition which should be made of the case in the interest of justice and discipline.

(2) The accused shall be advised of the charges and of the right to be represented at the investigation by counsel. Upon the accused’s own request the accused shall be represented by civilian counsel at the expense of the accused, or military counsel of the accused’s own selection if such counsel is reasonably available, or by counsel detailed by the convening authority. At that investigation full opportunity shall be given to the accused to cross-examine prosecution witnesses if they are available and to present anything the accused may desire in the accused’s own behalf, either in defense or mitigation, and the investigating officer shall examine witnesses requested by the accused. If the charges are forwarded after the investigation, they shall be accompanied by a statement of the substance of the testimony taken on both sides and a copy thereof shall be given to the accused.

(3) If an investigation of the subject matter of an offense has been conducted before the accused is charged with the offense, and if the accused was present at the investigation and afforded the opportunities for representation, cross-examination, and presentation prescribed above, no further investigation of that charge is necessary under this section unless it is demanded by the accused after the accused is informed of the charge. A demand for further investigation entitles the accused to recall witnesses for further cross-examination and to offer any new evidence in the accused’s own behalf.

(4) The requirements of this section are binding on all persons administering this code but failure to follow them does not divest a military court of jurisdiction.
