N.M. Stat. § 59A-12E-12
Reciprocal jurisdiction assuming insurers.
A. The superintendent shall timely create and publish a list of reciprocal jurisdiction
assuming insurers that have satisfied the conditions set forth in this section and to
which cessions shall be granted credit. The superintendent may add an assuming
insurer to the list if a national association of insurance commissioners accredited
jurisdiction has added the assuming insurer to its list of assuming insurers or if, upon
initial eligibility for credit for reinsurance, the assuming insurer submits the information
to the superintendent as required pursuant to Paragraph (4) of Subsection A of Section
10 [59A-12E-10 NMSA 1978] of the Credit for Reinsurance Act and complies with any
additional requirements that the superintendent may impose by rule, except to the
extent that they conflict with an applicable covered agreement.
B. If the superintendent determines that an assuming insurer no longer meets one
or more of the requirements pursuant to this section, the superintendent may revoke or
suspend the eligibility of the assuming insurer for recognition pursuant to this section in
accordance with procedures set forth in rule.
C. While an assuming insurer's eligibility is suspended, no reinsurance agreement
issued, amended or renewed after the effective date of the suspension qualifies for
credit except to the extent that the assuming insurer's obligations pursuant to the
contract are secured in accordance with Section 16 [59A-12E-16 NMSA 1978] of the
Credit for Reinsurance Act.
D. If an assuming insurer's eligibility is revoked, no credit for reinsurance may be
granted after the effective date of the revocation with respect to any reinsurance
agreements entered into by the assuming insurer, including reinsurance agreements
entered into prior to the date of revocation, except to the extent that the assuming
insurer's obligations pursuant to the contract are secured in a form acceptable to the
superintendent and consistent with the provisions of Section 16 of the Credit for
Reinsurance Act.
E. If subject to a legal process of rehabilitation, liquidation or conservation, as
applicable, the ceding insurer or its representative may seek and, if determined
appropriate by the court in which the proceedings are pending, may obtain an order
requiring that the assuming insurer post security for all outstanding ceded liabilities.
F. Nothing in this section shall limit or in any way alter the capacity of parties to a
reinsurance agreement to agree on requirements for security or other terms in that
reinsurance agreement, except as expressly prohibited by the Credit for Reinsurance
Act or other applicable law or rule.
