Any officer or director of a domestic insurance company who makes or authorizes an investment or loan in violation of section 26.1-05-19 or 26.1-05-20 is liable personally to the stockholders of a stock insurance company, or to the policyholders of a mutual insurance company, for any loss occasioned thereby. If a company is under liability for losses equal to its net assets and the president or directors, knowing of the liability, make or assent to further insurance, they are liable personally for any loss under the insurance. If the directors allow to be insured on a single risk a larger sum than that permitted under section 26.1-03-01, they are liable for any loss thereon above the amount the company might insure lawfully, unless the excess is reinsured as required by that section.
26.1-05-23. Domestic life insurance company to deposit securities with commissioner. A domestic life insurance company must physically deposit with the commissioner, on the date on which the company files its annual statement, securities of a value equivalent to the net value of all policies the company has in force. The securities must be of a kind specified in section 26.1-05-19. The company, in lieu of the physical deposit, may file, and the commissioner shall accept, a detailed, verified statement setting forth with sufficient particularity a list of the items of security held by the company in an amount equivalent to the net value of all policies in force. The securities specified in the list, although retained by the company, must be kept separate and distinct from the other securities of the company and must be held as a deposit for the policyholders of the company under this section. This section does not prevent or prohibit a domestic life insurance company from depositing with the commissioner securities in an amount to exceed the cash value of its policies.
26.1-05-24. Commissioner may examine books and securities of domestic life insurance company. The commissioner may examine the books, papers, securities, and business of any domestic life insurance company at any time, or may authorize any other suitable person to make the examination. The commissioner, or person authorized to make an examination, may examine under oath any officer or agent of the company, or any other person, relative to the business and management of the company. If upon the examination the commissioner is of the opinion that the company is insolvent or that its condition is such as to render a further continuance of its business hazardous, the commissioner may require the company to deposit in the commissioner's office all securities specified in any list filed pursuant to section 26.1-05-23 and not deposited.
