PREMIUM RECEIVED BY THE CORPORATION IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING
CALENDAR YEAR; AND

(II) AFTER A HEARING, THE COMMISSIONER DETERMINES THAT
THE SURPLUS IS UNREASONABLY LARGE.

(2) AFTER THE COMMISSIONER HAS DETERMINED THE SURPLUS OF A
CORPORATION AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS SUBTITLE TO BE EXCESSIVE, THE
COMMISSIONER:

(I) MAY ORDER THE CORPORATION TO SUBMIT A PLAN FOR
DISTRIBUTION OF THE EXCESS IN A FAIR AND EQUITABLE MANNER; OR

(II) IF THE CORPORATION FAILS TO SUBMIT A PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION WITHIN 60 DAYS, MAY COMPILE A PLAN AND ORDER THE
CORPORATION TO IMPLEMENT IT.

(3) A DISTRIBUTION ORDERED UNDER PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS
SUBSECTION MAY BE MADE ONLY TO SUBSCRIBERS WHO ARE COVERED BY THE
CORPORATION'S NONPROFIT HEALTH SERVICE PLAN AT THE TIME THE
DISTRIBUTION IS MADE.

(F) RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTION.

THE COMMISSIONER MAY NOT ORDER A DISTRIBUTION OR PLAN FOR
DISTRIBUTION UNDER SUBSECTION (E) OF THIS SECTION IF THE DISTRIBUTION
WOULD RENDER THE CORPORATION IMPAIRED OR INSOLVENT UNDER THE LAWS
OF ITS DOMICILIARY STATE OR ANY OTHER STATE IN WHICH THE CORPORATION IS
AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48A, § 355A.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former phrase "in § 355 of this
subtitle" is deleted as unnecessary. Only the defined term "surplus" was used
