1.  The Commissioner shall create and publish a list of qualified jurisdictions, pursuant to which an assuming insurer licensed and domiciled in such jurisdiction is eligible to be considered for certification by the Commissioner as a certified reinsurer.

2.  In order to determine whether the domiciliary jurisdiction of an alien assuming insurer is eligible to be recognized as a qualified jurisdiction, the Commissioner shall evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of the reinsurance supervisory system of the jurisdiction, both initially and on an ongoing basis, and consider the rights, benefits and extent of reciprocal recognition afforded by the alien jurisdiction to reinsurers licensed and domiciled in the United States. A qualified jurisdiction must agree to share information and cooperate with the Commissioner with respect to all certified reinsurers domiciled within that jurisdiction. A jurisdiction may not be recognized as a qualified jurisdiction if the Commissioner has determined that the jurisdiction does not adequately and promptly enforce final judgments rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States. Additional factors may be considered at the discretion of the Commissioner.

3.  The Commissioner may consider the list of qualified jurisdictions maintained by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in determining qualified jurisdictions.

4.  Any jurisdictions that meet the requirements for accreditation pursuant to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ financial standards and accreditation program must be recognized as qualified jurisdictions.

5.  If a certified reinsurer’s domiciliary jurisdiction ceases to be a qualified jurisdiction, the Commissioner may suspend or revoke the reinsurer’s certification.
