§4127-A. Suspension, revocation or refusal of license of foreign or alien society
The superintendent may suspend, revoke or refuse the license of a foreign or alien society transacting or applying to transact
business in this State as set out in this section. [2009, c. 13, §5 (NEW).]
1.Investigation.
If, upon investigation, the superintendent finds that a foreign or alien society transacting or applying to transact business
in this State has exceeded its powers, has failed to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter, is not fulfilling
its contracts in good faith or is conducting its business fraudulently or in a manner hazardous to its members or creditors
or the public, the superintendent shall notify the society of the deficiency or deficiencies and state in writing the reasons
that warrant suspension, revocation or refusal of the society's license. The notice must require that the deficiency or deficiencies
be corrected.
After receipt of the notice, the society has 30 days to comply with the superintendent's request for correction, and if the
society fails to comply, the superintendent shall notify the society of the findings of noncompliance and require the society
to show cause, on a date set by the superintendent, why its license should not be suspended, revoked or refused. If on that
date the society does not present good and sufficient reason why its authority to do business in this State should not be
suspended, revoked or refused, the superintendent may suspend or refuse the license of the society to do business in this
State until satisfactory evidence is furnished to the superintendent that the suspension or refusal should be withdrawn or
the superintendent may revoke the authority of the society to do business in this State.

made in this State during the time the society was legally authorized to transact business in this State.
