58-5A-38.1. Production of records, books, and other information.The director may order any registered insurer to produce records, books, or other information papers in the possession of the insurer or the insurer's affiliates as are reasonably necessary to determine compliance with the provisions of this chapter. The director may order any registered insurer to produce information not in the possession of the insurer if the insurer is able to obtain access to the information pursuant to contractual relationships, statutory obligations, or other method. If the insurer is unable to obtain the information requested by the director, the insurer shall provide the director a detailed explanation of the reason the insurer is unable to obtain the information and the identity of the holder of the information. If an insurer's detailed explanation is found to be without merit, it is grounds for the revocation of the insurer's license at a hearing held pursuant to chapter 1-26. Source: SL 2015, ch 246, §13.
