Section 26.1-03.1-02 - Risk-based capital reports1. On or prior to each March first, every domestic insurer shall prepare and submit to the commissioner a report of its risk-based capital levels as of the end of the calendar year just ended, in a form and containing any information required by the risk-based capital instructions. In addition, every domestic insurer shall file its risk-based capital report:a. With the national association of insurance commissioners in accordance with the risk-based capital instructions; andb. With the insurance commissioner in any state in which the insurer is authorized to do business, if the insurance commissioner has notified the insurer of its request in writing, in which case the insurer shall file its risk-based capital report not later than the later of:(1) Fifteen days from the receipt of notice to file its risk-based capital report with that state; or2. A life and health insurer's or fraternal benefit society's risk-based capital must be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the risk-based capital instructions. The formula must take into account, and may adjust for the covariance between, the following factors determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the risk-based capital instructions: a. The risk with respect to the insurer's assets;b. The risk of adverse insurance experience with respect to the insurer's liabilities and obligations;c. The interest rate risk with respect to the insurer's business; andd. All other business risks and any other relevant risks as are set forth in the risk-based capital instructions.3. A property and casualty insurer's risk-based capital must be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the risk-based capital instructions. The formula must take into account, and may adjust for the covariance between, the following factors determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the riskbased capital instructions: c. Underwriting risk; andd. All other business risks and any other relevant risks as are set forth in the risk-based instructions.4. An excess of capital over the amount produced by the risk-based capital requirements contained in this chapter and the formulas, schedules, and instructions referenced in this chapter is desirable in the business of insurance. Accordingly, insurers should seek to maintain capital above the risk-based capital levels required by this chapter. Additional capital is used and is useful in the insurance business and helps to secure an insurer against various risks inherent in, or affecting, the business of insurance and not accounted for or only partially measured by the risk-based capital requirements contained in this chapter.5. If a domestic insurer files a risk-based capital report that in the judgment of the commissioner is inaccurate, then the commissioner shall adjust the risk-based capital report to correct the inaccuracy and notify the insurer of the adjustment. The notice must contain a statement of the reason for the adjustment. A risk-based capital report so adjusted is referred to as an adjusted risk-based capital report.Amended by S.L. 2015, ch. 205 (SB 2129),§ 2, eff. 8/1/2015.
