§ 1803. Duties of Commissioner
A. The Insurance Commissioner shall, if there is substantial reason to believe that any insurer is insolvent, or if any insurer's condition is such as to render the continuance of its business hazardous to the public or to holders of its policies or certificates of insurance, or it has exceeded its powers, or it has failed to comply with the law, or if such insurer gives its consent:
1. Notify the insurer of the Commissioner's determination;
2. Furnish the insurer a written list of requirements to abate the Commissioner's determination; and
3. If the Commissioner makes a further determination to supervise, notify the insurer that it is under supervision pursuant to this article.1
B. Such insurer shall comply with the lawful requirements of the Commissioner and, if placed under supervision, shall have ninety (90) days from the date of notice within which to comply with the requirements of the Commissioner unless the Commissioner designates a lesser or greater period of time or unless the Commissioner determines at any time during or after the ninety-day period of time that judicial or administrative proceedings should be initiated to place such insurer in conservation, rehabilitation or liquidation proceedings or other delinquency proceedings, pursuant to Articles 18 and 19 of this title. If such insurer does not comply with such requirements, such supervision may continue until such requirements are remedied or until the Commissioner approves or completes pursuit of additional options as provided in the Insurance Code.
