COORDINATION WITH GUARANTY ASSOCIATIONS.

(a) The receiver shall notify any potentially obligated guaranty association or the guaranty association's representative concerning the entry of a rehabilitation order and shall update the guaranty association or its representative regarding significant developments that impact efforts to rehabilitate the insurer. On a determination by the rehabilitator that rehabilitation efforts may not be successful, the rehabilitator shall participate in cooperative efforts with the potentially obligated guaranty associations. To facilitate an orderly transition to liquidation, the rehabilitator shall make available to the guaranty associations the information necessary to discharge their responsibilities upon becoming statutorily obligated. To the extent that information is available, or as it becomes available, the rehabilitator shall provide appropriate information to guaranty associations in the states in which the insurer transacted business.

(b) For the purposes of Subsection (a), "appropriate information" may include the following for lines of business written by the insurer, whether covered or not covered by guaranty associations:

(1) a general description of the different types of business written or assumed by the insurer;

(2) claim counts and policy counts by state and by line of business;

(3) claim and policy reserves;

(4) account values and cash surrender values;

(5) policy loans;

(6) interest crediting history;

(7) premiums and mode of payment;

(8) unpaid claims and amounts;

(9) sample policies and endorsements;

(10) a listing of different locations of claim files;

(11) if third-party administrators were used, copies of executed contracts and a description of the contractual arrangements; and

(12) information concerning claims in litigation or dispute, including a listing of claims with assigned defense counsel for those claims going to trial in the near future after a possible liquidation date.

(c) For the purposes of Subsection (a), "appropriate information" also includes information concerning states in which the insurer is or was licensed and periods for which the insurer is or was licensed and other information reasonably requested by a guaranty association necessary for the guaranty association to fulfill its statutory duties.

(d) In the case of a property and casualty insurer, the rehabilitator, in cooperation with the guaranty associations, shall make all reasonable efforts to prepare the insurer's electronic policy and claims data so that, upon the entry of an order of liquidation, the data will be ready for transmission using the Uniform Data Standards as promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

(e) The list of what appropriate information includes under Subsections (b) and (c) is not necessarily an exclusive list. Other information may be necessary to ensure that an orderly transition to liquidation occurs, and that information may be appropriately provided by the receiver.
