(b) A domestic insurer may, upon approval of the director, transfer its domicile to another state in which it is admitted to transact the business of insurance.

The insurer shall meet the qualifications to remain admitted to this state for a period of three years or, if ordered by the director, a longer period. The director may approve a proposed transfer unless the transfer is not in the interest of the policyholders of the insurer or the insurance marketplace of this state.

Outstanding policies of a transferring insurer shall remain in full force and effect and shall be endorsed with the new name of the company, its new location, and any other information the director may require. A transferring insurer shall notify the director of the details of the proposed transfer 30 days before the effective date of the transfer and shall promptly file any resulting amendments to corporate documents filed or required to be filed with the director.

(d) A transfer of domestic status by merger, consolidation, or any other lawful method of combination must meet the requirements of AS 21.69.590 or 21.69.600. The certificate of authority, appointments under AS 21.27.100 , rates, and other items that the director allows, and that are in existence at the time the insurer is licensed to transact the business of insurance in this state, shall continue in full force and effect, and the insurer shall remain duly qualified to transact the business of insurance in this state. Outstanding policies of a domestic insurer being merged, consolidated, or otherwise combined shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be endorsed with the new name of the company, its new location, and any other information the director may require.

(e) An insurer that is transferring its domicile to this state shall file its revised policy forms for approval under AS 21.42.

(f) A domestic insurer that is transferring its domicile to another state is not required to file policy forms at the time of transfer if the forms have already been approved under AS 21.42.
