company action level event.
        (2) Contains proposed corrective actions that the
    
insurer intends to take and that are expected to result in the elimination of the company action level event. A health organization is not prohibited from proposing recognition of a parental guarantee or a letter of credit to eliminate the company action level event; however the Director shall, at his discretion, determine whether or the extent to which the proposed parental guarantee or letter of credit is an acceptable part of a satisfactory RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan.
        (3) Provides projections of the insurer’s financial
    
results in the current year and at least the 4 succeeding years, both in the absence of proposed corrective actions and giving effect to the proposed corrective actions, including projections of statutory operating income, net income, capital, and surplus. The projections for both new and renewal business may include separate projections for each major line of business and separately identify each significant income, expense, and benefit component.

insurer’s projections and the sensitivity of the projections to the assumptions.

associated with, the insurer’s business including, but not limited to, its assets, anticipated business growth and associated surplus strain, extraordinary exposure to risk, mix of business, and use of reinsurance, if any, in each case.
    (c) The insurer shall submit the RBC Plan to the Director within 45 days after the company action level event occurs or within 45 days after the Director notifies the insurer that the Director has, after a hearing, rejected its challenge under Section 35A-35 to an Adjusted RBC Report.
     (d) Within 60 days after an insurer submits an RBC Plan to the Director, the Director shall notify the insurer whether the RBC Plan shall be implemented or is, in the judgment of the Director, unsatisfactory. If the Director determines the RBC Plan is unsatisfactory, the notification to the insurer shall set forth the reasons for the determination and may set forth proposed revisions that will render the RBC Plan satisfactory in the judgment of the Director. Upon notification from the Director, the insurer shall prepare a Revised RBC Plan, which may incorporate by reference any revisions proposed by the Director. The insurer shall submit the Revised RBC Plan to the Director within 45 days after the Director notifies the insurer that the RBC Plan is unsatisfactory or within 45 days after the Director notifies the insurer that the Director has, after a hearing, rejected its challenge under Section 35A-35 to the determination that the RBC Plan is unsatisfactory.
     (e) In the event the Director notifies an insurer that its RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan is unsatisfactory, the Director may, at the Director’s discretion and subject to the insurer’s right to a hearing under Section 35A-35, specify in the notification that the notification constitutes a regulatory action level event.
     (f) Every domestic insurer that files an RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan with the Director shall file a copy of the RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan with the chief insurance regulatory official in any state in which the insurer is authorized to do business if that state has a law substantially similar to the confidentiality provisions in subsection (a) of Section 35A-50 and if that official requests in writing a copy of the plan. The insurer shall file a copy of the RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan in that state no later than the later of 15 days after receiving the written request for the copy or the date on which the RBC Plan or Revised RBC Plan is filed under subsection (c) or (d) of this Section.
