518A.27  Reinsurance — quo warranto.
  The commissioner of insurance may address inquiries to any association in relation to its doings and condition and any association so addressed shall promptly reply thereto in writing. If the commissioner of insurance is then satisfied that the association has failed to comply with any provisions of this law, or is exceeding its powers, or is not carrying out its contracts in good faith; or is transacting business fraudulently or soliciting insurance in territories where it is not legally admitted to do business, or is in such condition as to render the further transaction of business by it hazardous to the public or its policyholders, the business under the commissioner’s supervision and with the consent of the association may be reinsured in some mutual association, or the commissioner may present the facts relating thereto to the attorney general and if the circumstances warrant the attorney general may commence an action in quo warranto in a court of competent jurisdiction.
