  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • writing: includes printing. See Alaska Statutes 01.10.060
(b) A domestic stock insurer may reinsure a portion or all of its insurance in force or a major class of its insurance with another insurer by an agreement of assumption reinsurance, but an agreement of assumption reinsurance is not effective unless filed with and approved in writing by the director after a hearing.
(c) The director shall approve the agreement within a reasonable time after the filing unless the director finds that it is inequitable to the stockholders of the domestic insurer or would substantially reduce the protection or service to its policyholders. If the director does not approve the agreement, the director shall notify the insurer in writing specifying the reasons.
(d) This section does not apply to a facultative reinsurance contract. In this subsection, “facultative reinsurance contract” means an agreement whereby individual risk is offered by an insurer for acceptance or rejection by a reinsurer. Under a facultative reinsurance contract, both parties are free to act in their own best interest, regardless of any prior contractual arrangement.
