The Legislature declares its concern that insurers not licensed to transact the business of insurance in this state are soliciting the sale of insurance and selling insurance to residents of this state, thus presenting the commissioner with the problem of resorting to courts of foreign jurisdictions for the purposes of enforcing the insurance laws of this state for the protection of its residents. It is the purpose of this unauthorized insurers law to make it unlawful for insurers that are not licensed to transact the business of insurance in this state and to subject said insurers to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state in actions or proceedings brought by the commissioner in transactions involving unauthorized insurers or for the protection of insureds and claimants residing in this state and for the protection of the public. This chapter constitutes and may be referred to as the “Unauthorized Insurers Law.”
