A. Sections 5121 through 5125 of this title shall be known and may be cited as the “Credit for Reinsurance Act”.

B. The purpose of the Credit for Reinsurance Act is to protect the interest of insureds, claimants, ceding insurers, assuming insurers and the public generally. The Legislature hereby declares its intent is to ensure adequate regulation of insurers and reinsurers and adequate protection for those parties to whom insurers and reinsurers owe obligations. In furtherance of that state interest, the Legislature hereby provides a mandate that upon the insolvency of a non-United States insurer or reinsurer that provides security to fund its obligations within the United States in accordance with the Credit for Reinsurance Act, the assets representing the security shall be maintained in the United States and claims shall be filed with and valued by the State Insurance Commissioner with regulatory oversight and the assets shall be distributed in accordance with the insurance laws of the state in which the trust is domiciled that are applicable to the liquidation of domestic United States insurance companies. The Legislature declares that the matters contained in the Credit for Reinsurance Act are fundamental to the business of insurance in accordance with 15 U.S.C., Sections 1011 through 1012.
