Article 44 - Fraternal Benefit Societies
Section 59A-44-31 - Suspension, revocation or refusal of license of foreign or alien society.

A. When the superintendent upon investigation finds that a foreign or alien society transacting or applying to transact business in this state:
(1) has exceeded its powers;
(2) has failed to comply with any of the provisions of Chapter 59A, Article 44 NMSA 1978;
(3) is not fulfilling its contracts in good faith; or
(4) 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 any deficiency and state in writing the reasons for his dissatisfaction. The superintendent shall at once issue a written notice to the society requiring that any deficiency that exists be corrected. After such notice the society shall have a thirty-day period in which to comply with the superintendent's request for correction, and if the society fails to comply the superintendent shall notify the society of such findings of noncompliance and require the society to show cause on a date named why its license should not be suspended, revoked or refused. If on such 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in this state until satisfactory evidence is furnished to the superintendent that such suspension or refusal should be withdrawn or the superintendent may revoke the authority of the society to do business in this state.
B. Nothing contained in this section shall be taken or construed as preventing any such society from continuing in good faith all contracts made in this state during the time such society was legally authorized to transact business therein.
