action plans - Rescission or modification of suspension order.
A.  The Insurance Commissioner shall deny, suspend or revoke a
MEWA's license if, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, the
Commissioner finds that the MEWA:
1.  Is insolvent;
2.  Is using such methods and practices in the conduct of its
business as to render its further transaction of business in this
state hazardous or injurious to its participating employees, covered
employees and dependents, or to the public;
3.  Has failed to pay any final judgment rendered against it in
a court of competent jurisdiction within sixty (60) days after the
judgment became final;
4.  Is or has been in violation of any material provisions of
this act;
5.  Is no longer actuarially sound; or
6.  Is charging rates that are excessive, inadequate or unfairly
discriminatory.
B.  The Commissioner may deny, suspend or revoke the license of
any MEWA if, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, the
Commissioner determines that the MEWA:
1.  Has violated any lawful order or rule of the Commissioner or
any applicable provisions of this act;
2.  Has refused to produce its accounts, records or files for
examination under Sections 309.1 through 310A.3 of this title or
through any of its officers has refused to give information with

respect to its affairs or to perform any other legal obligation as
to an examination;
3.  Utilized persons to solicit enrollments through an
unlicensed agent; or
4.  Has violated any provision of the Unfair Claims Settlement
Practices Act, Section 1250.1 et seq. of this title.
C.  Whenever the financial condition of the MEWA is such that,
if not modified or corrected, its continued operation would result
in impairment or insolvency, in addition to any provisions in this
act, the Commissioner may order the MEWA to file with the
Commissioner and implement a corrective action plan designed to
correct such impairment or insolvency.
If the MEWA fails to submit a plan within the time specified by the
Commissioner or submits a plan that is insufficient, the
Commissioner may order the MEWA to implement corrective actions as
necessary to correct the MEWA's financial condition.
D.  The Commissioner shall, in any order suspending the
authority of a MEWA to enroll new insureds, specify the period
during which the suspension is to be in effect and the conditions,
if any, that must be met prior to reinstatement of its authority to
enroll new insureds.  The order of suspension is subject to
rescission or modification by further order of the Commissioner
before the expiration of the suspension period.  Reinstatement shall
not be made unless requested in writing by the MEWA; however, the
Commissioner shall not grant reinstatement if it is found that the
circumstances for which suspension occurred still exist.
