(b) No alien mutual property/casualty insurance company shall be
authorized to do business in this state unless it maintains a trusteed

be maintained by a domestic stock property/casualty insurance company
licensed to write the same kind or kinds of insurance.
(c) The financial requirements specified in subsections (a) and (b)
hereof shall be reduced by fifty percent for a foreign or alien mutual
property/casualty insurance company initially licensed to do business in
this state prior to July first, nineteen hundred eighty-two, but such
reduction shall not apply to such a foreign or alien insurer licensed
under subsection (c) of section four thousand one hundred two of this
article to reinsure risks or write insurance on risks outside the United
States, its territories and possessions. Such reduction shall also not
apply to the amounts required in order to write paragraph twenty-two,

hundred thirteen of this chapter.
