(1) The insurer's condition renders the continuance of its business hazardous to the public or to its insureds;
(2) The insurer has or appears to have exceeded its powers;
(3) The insurer has failed to comply with the applicable provisions of the insurance statutes of this State, any administrative rules promulgated thereunder or any order of the commissioner;
(4) The business of the insurer is being conducted fraudulently; or
(5) The insurer has consented to administrative supervision.
b. If the commissioner determines that any of the conditions set forth in subsection a. of this section exist, the commissioner shall:
(1) Notify the insurer of his determination;
(2) Furnish to the insurer a written list of actions to be taken by the insurer to abate the conditions giving rise to the determination; and
(3) Notify the insurer that it is under the supervision of the commissioner and that the commissioner is applying and effectuating the provisions of this act.
c. If placed under administrative supervision, the insurer shall have 60 days, or another period of time as designated by the commissioner, to comply with the requirements imposed by the commissioner.
d. If the conditions giving rise to the supervision still exist at the end of the supervision period specified in subsection c. of this section, the commissioner may, after notice and opportunity to be heard, extend such period.
e. If the commissioner determines that the conditions giving rise to the supervision have been sufficiently remedied, the commissioner shall release the insurer from supervision.
