The Legislature declares its intent that:

(a)In some instances, it is appropriate for the protection of insureds, insurers, and the public generally, that assuming insurers be required to provide security for the payment of their reinsurance obligations.

(b)Where such security is provided and upon the insolvency of the assuming insurer or initiation of receivership proceedings against it, the commissioner shall have the authority to determine whether it is in the best interest of insureds, claimants, and insurers to retain such security in the United States, to allow the filing of claims against the assuming insurer in the United States, and to have such claims valued in a United States proceeding subject to United States laws.

(c)In furtherance of the protection of insureds, insurers, and the public generally, the Legislature hereby states that these matters are fundamental to the business of insurance and hereby exercises its powers and privileges available pursuant to Sections 1011 and 1012 of Title 15 of the United States Code.
