Subd. 2. Commissioner's duties. In the event of a regulatory action level event the commissioner shall: (1) require the health organization to prepare and submit an RBC plan or, if applicable, a revised RBC plan; (2) perform any examination or analysis the commissioner considers necessary of the assets, liabilities, and operations of the health organization, including a review of its RBC plan or revised RBC plan; and (3) after the examination or analysis, issue a corrective order specifying the corrective actions the commissioner determines are required. Subd. 3. Corrective actions. In determining corrective actions, the commissioner may take into account factors the commissioner considers relevant with respect to the health organization based upon the commissioner's examination or analysis of the assets, liabilities, and operations of the health organization, including, but not limited to, the results of any sensitivity tests undertaken pursuant to the RBC instructions. The RBC plan or revised RBC plan must be submitted: (1) within 45 days after the occurrence of the regulatory action level event; (2) if the health organization challenges an adjusted RBC report pursuant to section 60A.56 and the challenge is not frivolous in the judgment of the commissioner within 45 days after the notification to the health organization that the commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the health organization's challenge; or (3) if the health organization challenges a revised RBC plan pursuant to section 60A.56 and the challenge is not frivolous in the judgment of the commissioner, within 45 days after the notification to the health organization that the commissioner has, after a hearing, rejected the health organization's challenge. Subd. 4. Consultants. The commissioner may retain actuaries and investment experts and other consultants as may be necessary in the judgment of the commissioner to review the health organization's RBC plan or revised RBC plan, examine or analyze the assets, liabilities, and operations, including contractual relationships, of the health organization and formulate the corrective order with respect to the health organization. The fees, costs, and expenses relating to consultants must be borne by the affected health organization or such other party as directed by the commissioner. History:   2004 c 285 art 1 s 4
