1. Any captive insurance company may provide reinsurance, comprised in section 376.010 and subsection 1 of section 379.010, on risks ceded by any other insurer.

2. Any captive insurance company may take credit for the reinsurance of risks or portions of risks ceded to reinsurers complying with the provisions of section 375.246. Prior approval of the director shall be required for ceding or taking credit for the reinsurance of risks or portions of risks ceded to reinsurers or under reinsurance agreements not complying with section 375.246, except for business written by an alien captive insurance company outside the United States.

3. For all purposes of sections 379.1300 to 379.1350, insurance by a captive insurance company of any workers’ compensation qualified self-insured plan of its parent and affiliates shall be deemed to be reinsurance.

4. In addition to reinsurers authorized under the provisions of section 375.246, a captive insurance company may take credit for the reinsurance of risks or portions of risks ceded to a pool, exchange, or association acting as a reinsurer which has been authorized by the director. The director may require any other documents, financial information, or other evidence that such a pool, exchange, or association will be able to provide adequate security for its financial obligations. The director may deny authorization or impose any limitations on the activities of a reinsurance pool, exchange, or association that, in the director’s judgment, are necessary and proper to provide adequate security for the ceding captive insurance company and for the protection and consequent benefit of the public at large.
