3. (3) Since the addition of any new line of business to a company’s certificate of authority may impact the company’s surplus and/or writing ratios, any such request to amend an existing certificate will be carefully evaluated by applying current standards required of an insurer seeking a certificate of authority from this state. The Office shall not authorize the addition of any lines of insurance to an insurer’s existing certificate of authority unless evidence is presented satisfactory to the Office that authorization of the additional lines of insurance would be in the best interests of the financial solvency of the insurer and in the best interests of the policyholders.
4. (4) All the forms listed in subsection (2) may be obtained from the Office’s website at floir.gov and shall be submitted electronically via the Office’s iApply system at floir.gov/iportal
