44-2135. Management of domestic insurer.
(1) Notwithstanding the control of a domestic insurer by any person, the officers and directors of the insurer shall not thereby be relieved of any obligation or liability to which they would otherwise be subject by law, and the insurer shall be managed so as to assure its separate operating identity consistent with the Insurance Holding Company System Act.
(2) Nothing in this section shall preclude a domestic insurer from having or sharing a common management or cooperative or joint use of personnel, property, or services with one or more other persons under arrangements meeting the standards of subsection (1) of section 44-2133.
(3) Not less than one-third of the directors of a domestic insurer which is a member of an insurance holding company system shall be persons who are not officers or employees of such insurer or of any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such insurer and who are not beneficial owners of a controlling interest in the voting stock of such insurer or any such entity. At least one such person shall be included in any quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors.
(4) Subsection (3) of this section shall not apply to a domestic insurer if the person controlling such insurer, such as an insurer, a mutual insurance holding company, or a publicly held corporation, has a board of directors that meets the requirements of such subsection with respect to such controlling entity.
(5) An insurer may make application to the director for a waiver from the requirements of this section if the insurer's annual direct written and assumed premium, excluding premiums reinsured with the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and the national flood insurance program as defined in section 31-1014, is less than three hundred million dollars. An insurer may also make application to the director for a waiver from the requirements of this section based upon unique circumstances. The director may consider various factors including, but not limited to, the type of business entity, volume of business written, availability of qualified board members, or ownership or organizational structure of the entity.
