An insurer that does not qualify for exemption may apply to the director for a waiver from the requirements of §§ 58-5A-81 to 58-5A-93, inclusive, based upon unique circumstances. In deciding whether to grant the insurer’s request for waiver, the director may consider the type and volume of business written, ownership and organizational structure, and any other factor the director considers relevant to the insurer or insurance group of which the insurer is a member. If the insurer is part of an insurance group with insurers domiciled in more than one state, the director shall coordinate with the lead state commissioner and with the other domiciliary commissioners in considering whether to grant the insurer’s request for a waiver.
