2000 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 38.2-1019 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 38.2-1019. Change of status from foreign to domestic insurer.
A. Any foreign insurer licensed to transact the business of insurance in this
Commonwealth may become a domestic insurer upon (i) complying with the
requirements for formation of a domestic insurer under Article 1 (§ 38.2-1000
et seq.) of this chapter at the date of redomestication, and (ii) promptly
filing any necessary amendments to its articles of incorporation, charters,
bylaws and other corporate documents. When those requirements have been met,
the Commission may issue a license dated as of the date of redomestication in
accordance with the provisions of Article 5 (§ 38.2-1024 et seq.) of this
chapter to permit the company to transact the business of insurance in the
Commonwealth as a domestic insurer. The license shall state the date and
domicile of the original incorporation of the insurer, and shall indicate its
redomestication into this Commonwealth under the provisions of this chapter.
Such insurer shall be recognized under the laws of this Commonwealth as an insurer
initially licensed in another jurisdiction, as of the date it was first licensed as an
insurer in its original domiciliary state.
B. An insurer that changes its status from foreign to domestic in accordance with subsection A of this section has all the rights, titles and interests in the assets of the original corporation, as well as all of its liabilities and obligations.
