surers; to ensure that such insurers are closely monitored
by the Commission for compliance with these standards;
and to enable the Commission to identify financial prob-

ceding insurers, the Commission may require,
as a condition for initial or continued certifi-
cation, additional security requirements, includ-
ing the establishment of a United States trust
fund for the exclusive protection of United
States ceding insurers. The Commission may
require such trust fund to be in any amount

Economic Partnership
SEC. 271. SHORT TITLE.
This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘National Commu-
nity Economic Partnership Act of 1993’’.
SEC. 272. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) the cities, towns, small communities and
rural areas throughout the United States face criti-
cal social and economic problems arising in part
147
liability of the insureds to the receiver for unpaid assess-
ments.
(b) RECOVERY.—NIPC shall have the right to re-
cover from the affiliate of an insolvent insurer the amount
of any liability obligations paid on behalf of such affiliate.
SEC. 524. NONDUPLICATION OF PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.
Any person having a claim against an insurer under
any provision in an insurance policy, other than a policy
of an insolvent insurer, which is also a covered claim, shall
be required to exhaust first its rights under such policy.
Any amount payable on a covered claim under this Act
shall be reduced by the amount of any recovery under such
insurance policy.
SEC. 525. REPORTS ON PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.
(a) ANNUAL AND OTHER REPORTS ON CLAIMS.—
NIPC shall file with the Commission an annual statement,
and such other statements as the Commission directs, of
the covered claims paid by NIPC and estimates of antici-
pated claims on NIPC.
(b) EXAMINATION OF NIPC RECORDS.—The Com-
mission shall permit access by NIPC to such of the insol-
vent insurer’s records which are necessary to carry out
NIPC’s functions under this Act with regard to covered
claims. In addition, the Commission shall provide NIPC
131
from a lack of economic growth in community based
economies;
(2) the crisis facing local economies has re-
sulted in—
(A) a growing percentage of the work force
earning poverty level wages, even though they
work full time and year round;
(B) the percentage of the labor force living
below the poverty line increasing from 25.7 per-
cent in 1979 to 31.5 percent in 1987;
(C) population losses, rising unemployment
and a decline of the farm sector and of many
other rural industries (such as timber, oil, gas,
and mining) contribute to the decline of rural
economies;
(D) with respect to rural areas, 31.9 per-
cent of the work force falling below the poverty
line in 1979, with that percentage rising to
42.1 percent in 1987; and
(E) with respect to urban areas, 23.4 per-
cent of the work force falling below the poverty
line in 1979, with that percentage rising to
28.9 percent in 1987;
(3) the future well-being of the United States
and the well-being of its citizens depends on the es-
HR 1315 IH
of competent jurisdiction of a State to recover a civil
penalty or obtain appropriate relief against any per-
son, partnership, or corporation which violates any
provision of this Act, or any rule of the Commission
under this Act, in the same manner, by the same
means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers, and
duties as provided in sections 5(m), 13(b) and 19 of
the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C.
45(m), 53(b) and 57b).
(2) Notwithstanding the three-year statute of
limitations provisions of section 19b of the Federal
Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57b(d)), any civil
action arising from a violation of this Act, or any
rule of the Commission under this Act, shall be
brought by the Commission before the later of—
(A) five years after the date on which such
violation occurred; or
(B) three years after the date on which the
violation was discovered or should have been
discovered through exercise of reasonable dili-
gence.
(c) The powers, duties, remedies and procedures set
forth in this section shall be in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any other powers, duties, remedies and pro-
179
be avoided by the receiver if the insurer or reinsurer was
insolvent at the time of the transfer and either—
(1) the transfer was made within 4 months be-
fore the filing of a petition for receivership; or
(2) the creditor receiving such transfer was—
(A) an officer of the insurer or reinsurer;
(B) any person other than an officer who
was in fact in a position of influence over the
insurer or reinsurer comparable to that of an
officer;
(C) any shareholder holding directly or in-
directly more than 5 percent of any class of any
equity security issued by the insurer or rein-
surer; or
(D) any other person with whom the in-
surer or reinsurer did not deal at arm’s length.
The 4-month period referred to in paragraph (1) shall not
expire until 4 months after the date of the recording or
the registering of the transfer if by law such recording
or registering is required.
(c) LIABILITY FOR TRANSFERS.—Every director, of-
ficer, employee, stockholder, member, or any other person,
acting on behalf of an insurer or reinsurer in receivership,
who, within 2 years prior to the filing of the petition for
receivership, shall knowingly participate in the making of
193
(3) The insurer or reinsurer has failed to re-
move any person who in fact has executive authority,
whether an officer, manager, agent, employee, or
other person, if the person has been found after no-
tice and hearing by the Commission or the appro-
priate State insurance regulator to be dishonest or
untrustworthy in a way affecting the insurer’s or re-
insurer’s business.
(4) Control of the insurer or reinsurer, whether
by stock ownership or otherwise, and whether direct
or indirect, is in a person found after the oppor-
tunity for a hearing on the record to be
untrustworthy.
(5) Any person who in fact has executive au-
thority in the insurer or reinsurer, whether an offi-
cer, manager, agent, director or trustee, employee,
or other person, has refused to be examined under
oath by the Commission or the appropriate State in-
surance regulator concerning its affairs, and after
reasonable notice of the fact, the insurer or rein-
surer has failed promptly and effectively to termi-
nate the employment and status of the person and
all such person’s influence on management.
(6) After demand by the Commission or the ap-
propriate State insurance regulator under this Act,
132
tablishment and maintenance of viable community
development enterprises;
(4) meeting the goal of establishing and main-
taining viable community development enterprises
requires—
(A) increased public and private invest-
ment in business development activities, espe-
cially in the small business sector, which gen-
erates the majority of new jobs, as evidenced by
the fact that between 1980 and 1986 enter-
prises with less than 100 employees accounted
for more than 50 percent of the jobs created in
the United States;
(B) increased investment and technical as-
sistance to existing community based enter-
prises, as evidenced by the fact that during the
first half of the 1980’s more than 75 percent of
the total net new jobs in the United States
came from the expansion of existing businesses;
(C) a substantial expansion and greater
continuity in the scope of Federal programs
that support community based economic devel-
opment strategies;
(D) the continuing efforts at Federal,
State and local levels to coordinate the plan-
133
ning, implementation and evaluation of commu-
nity economic development efforts; and
(E) the formation of a national commis-
sion, as an independent agency, to administer
the various community development programs
and serve as a focal point for Federal efforts to
promote community based economic develop-
ment; and
(5) community development corporations, due
to their proven capacity and achievements in both
the field of community based housing and economic
development, are appropriate vehicles through which
to advance a national community economic develop-
ment program because—
(A) there are currently over 2000 commu-
nity development corporations throughout the
United States, operating projects that promote
community based housing and economic devel-
opment;
(B) community development corporations
operate in every State and in virtually every
major city in the United States, and account
for many of the existing efforts undertaken to
meet the needs of low-income persons in both
urban and rural communities;
