(b) In the event of a mandatory control level event:  (1) With respect to a life or accident and health or sickness insurer, the commissioner shall take any actions that are necessary to cause the insurer to be placed under regulatory control under article 15. In that event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under article 15, and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as provided by article 15. In the event the commissioner takes actions pursuant to an adjusted risk-based capital report, the insurer shall be entitled to the protections afforded to insurers under section 431:15-201.

In either event, the mandatory control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under article 15 and the commissioner shall have the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the insurer as are set forth in article 15. In the event the commissioner takes actions pursuant to an adjusted risk-based capital report, the insurer shall be entitled to the protections afforded to insurers under section 431:15-201.

In the event the commissioner takes actions pursuant to an adjusted risk-based capital report, the insurer shall be entitled to the protections that are afforded to insurers under section 431:15-201.
