The purpose of this part 7 is to protect the interest of insureds, claimants, ceding insurers, assuming insurers, and the public generally. The general assembly hereby declares its intent is to ensure adequate regulation of insurers and reinsurers and adequate protection for those to whom they owe obligations. In furtherance of that state interest, the general assembly hereby provides a mandate that upon the insolvency of a non-United States insurer or reinsurer that provides security to fund its United States obligations in accordance with this part 7, the assets representing the security must be maintained in the United States, claims must be filed with and valued by the state insurance commissioner with regulatory oversight, and the assets must be distributed in accordance with the insurance laws of the state in which the trust is domiciled that are applicable to the liquidation of domestic United States insurance companies. The general assembly declares that the matters contained in this part 7 are fundamental to the business of insurance in accordance with 15 U.S.C. secs. 1011 and 1012.
