No provision of the Missouri insurance laws, other than those specifically referenced in sections 379.1353 to 379.1421 apply to a SPLRC, its operations, assets, investments and SPLRC contracts. In the event of a conflict between a provision of the Missouri insurance laws and sections 379.1353 to 379.1421, the provisions of sections 379.1353 to 379.1421 shall control as to the SPLRC and its operations, assets, dividends, SPLRC contracts, and surplus notes and investments. The director may exempt all, or any one, SPLRC by rule or order from the provisions of sections 379.1353 to 379.1421 that he or she determines to be inappropriate, but may not expand the application of the Missouri insurance laws, except as specifically provided for in sections 379.1353 to 379.1421.
