HRS §431:19-213

How supervision and liquidation work for special purpose captive insurers

This section explains how state rules for supervision, rehabilitation, and liquidation apply to special purpose financial captive insurance companies. It says a receiver manages the company's assets and debts, and protects certain payments and transfers from being blocked or reversed. It also keeps the company's assets separate from a counterparty's assets in bankruptcy-like proceedings.

The statute, as written — Supervision, rehabilitation, liquidation

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this part, article 15 shall apply in full to a special purpose financial captive insurance company. (b) Upon any order of supervision, rehabilitation, or liquidation of a special purpose financial captive insurance company, the receiver shall manage the assets and liabilities of the special purpose financial captive insurance company pursuant to this part. (c) Amounts recoverable by the receiver of a special purpose financial captive insurance company under a special purpose financial captive insurance company contract shall not be reduced or diminished as a result of the entry of an order of conservation, rehabilitation, or liquidation with respect to a counterparty, notwithstanding any provision in the contracts or other documentations governing the special purpose financial captive insurance company securitization. (d) Notwithstanding article 15 or any other law of this State: (1) An application or petition for a temporary restraining order or injunction issued pursuant to article 15 with respect to a counterparty does not prohibit the transaction of business by a special purpose financial captive insurance company, including any payment by a special purpose financial captive insurance company made with respect to a special purpose financial captive insurance company security, or any action or proceeding against a special purpose financial captive insurance company or its assets; (2) The commencement of a summary proceeding with respect to a special purpose financial captive insurance company and any order issued by the court in the summary proceeding, unless otherwise specifically addressed in the summary proceeding or order issued by the court, shall not prohibit payments by a special purpose financial captive insurance company and shall not prohibit the special purpose financial captive insurance company from taking any action required to make payments; provided that payments are made: (A) Pursuant to a special purpose financial captive insurance company security or special purpose financial captive insurance company contract; and (B) Consistent with the special purpose financial captive insurance company's plan of operation and any order issued to the special purpose financial captive insurance company pursuant to section 431:19-204(b), as either is amended from time to time; (3) A receiver of a counterparty may not void a nonfraudulent transfer by a counterparty to a special purpose financial captive insurance company of money or other property made pursuant to a special purpose financial captive insurance company contract; and (4) A receiver of a special purpose financial captive insurance company may not void a nonfraudulent transfer by the special purpose financial captive insurance company of money or other property: (A) Made to a counterparty pursuant to a special purpose financial captive insurance company contract or made to or for the benefit of any holder of a special purpose financial captive insurance company security with respect to the special purpose financial captive insurance company security; and (B) Made consistent with the special purpose financial captive insurance company's plan of operation and any order issued to the special purpose financial captive insurance company pursuant to section 431:19-204(b), as either is amended from time to time. (e) With the exception of the fulfillment of the obligations under a special purpose financial captive insurance contract and notwithstanding any other provision of this part or other laws of this State, the assets of a special purpose financial captive insurance company, including assets held in trust, on a funds-withheld basis, or in any other arrangement to secure the special purpose financial captive insurance company's obligations under a special purpose financial captive insurance company contract, shall not be consolidated with or included in the estate of a counterparty in any delinquency proceeding against the counterparty pursuant to this part for any purpose including, without limitation, distribution to creditors of the counterparty.
