N.M. Stat. § 59A-5-25
Impairment as grounds for suspension or revocation of
certificate of authority.
A. For the purposes of Section 91 [59A-5-24 NMSA 1978] (suspension or
revocation of certificate of authority - mandatory grounds) of this article, an insurer shall
be deemed impaired when the superintendent at any time finds that the excess of the
insurer's admitted assets over its liabilities is less than the minimum basic capital
required to be maintained by the insurer under this article, and the insurer has failed to
make good the deficiency within the period provided for below.
B. The superintendent shall give the insurer written notice of the deficiency stating
the amount thereof, and require the insurer to eliminate the deficiency within sixty (60)
days after notice was so given. If the insurer fails to cure the deficiency within the sixty-
day period the superintendent shall immediately suspend or revoke its certificate of
authority. This provision shall not be deemed to prevent the superintendent, within such
sixty-day period or at any other time, from taking other action as to the insurer as
authorized under any provision of Article 41 [Chapter 59A, Article 41 NMSA 1978]
(conservation, rehabilitation, liquidation) of the Insurance Code.
