(iii) If a property or casualty insurer, health organization or health insurer that completes the health annual statement for the reporting year, the insurer has total adjusted capital which is greater than or equal to its company action level RBC but less than the product of its authorized control level RBC and 3.0 and triggers the trend test determined in accordance with the trend test calculation included in the property and casualty or health RBC instructions;

(2)  In the event of a company action level event, the insurer shall prepare and submit to the director an RBC plan which shall:

(a)  Identify the conditions which contribute to the company action level event;

(b)  Contain proposals of corrective actions which the insurer intends to take and would be expected to result in the elimination of the company action level event;

(c)  Provide projections of the insurer’s financial results in the current year and at least the four (4) succeeding years, and for managed care organizations and health organizations for at least the two (2) succeeding years, both in the absence of proposed corrective actions and giving effect to the proposed corrective actions, including projections of statutory operating income, net income, capital and surplus.

(3)  The RBC plan shall be submitted:

(a)  Within forty-five (45) days of the company action level event; or

(a)  Within forty-five (45) days after the notification from the director; or

(6)  Every domestic insurer that files an RBC plan or revised RBC plan with the director shall file a copy of the RBC plan or revised RBC plan with the insurance director in any state in which the insurer is authorized to do business if:

(a)  Such state has an RBC provision substantially similar to section 41-5408(1), Idaho Code; and

(b)  The insurance director of that state has notified the insurer of its request for the filing in writing, in which case the insurer shall file a copy of the RBC plan or revised RBC plan in that state no later than the later of:
