The grounds for suspension or revocation mentioned in this section are in addition to those mentioned elsewhere in this regulation or in other applicable law or regulation. In addition, a domestic risk retention group is subject to the same sanctions, on the same grounds, as a domestic insurer, including revocation of its certificate of authority. The registration of a risk retention group may be suspended or revoked if:
(1) Any basis exists on which, if the risk retention group were an authorized insurer, its certificate of authority could be suspended or revoked, under chapter
48.05 RCW or otherwise.
(2) If the risk retention group has any order of supervision, receivership, conservation, or liquidation, or any order similar to such an order, entered against it in any state or country by a court or insurance commissioner (or equivalent supervisory official); or any such court or official finds that the risk retention group is in a hazardous financial or financially impaired condition.
(3) If the risk retention group solicits or accepts, or permits the solicitation or acceptance, of insurance applications by anyone not appropriately licensed as an insurance producer or surplus line broker; or does or permits any other act by a person not appropriately licensed as an insurance producer or surplus line broker, if that act may be performed only by one so licensed.
(4) An order is entered by a court enjoining the risk retention group from soliciting or selling insurance, or operating.
(5) If the risk retention group fails to respond fully, accurately, and in writing to an inquiry of the commissioner.
