A. Upon written application, accompanied by such information as the Commissioner requires, the Insurance Commissioner may grant permission to a sponsored captive insurance company or a special purpose captive insurance company to discount loss and loss adjustment expense reserves at treasury rates applied to the applicable payments projected through the use of the expected payment pattern associated with the reserves.

B. A sponsored captive insurance company and a special purpose captive insurance company, and any captive insurer, at the Commissioner's discretion, shall file annually an actuarial opinion on the company's loss and loss adjustment expense reserves or life and health policy and claim reserves, as applicable. The individual who prepares the Statement of Actuarial Opinion must be independent of the captive company and its affiliates.

C. The Insurance Commissioner may disallow the discounting of reserves if a captive insurance company violates a provision of this title.
