TCA § 56-2-112 — Deposits in trust to secure policyholders

The state treasurer, in an official capacity, shall take and hold in trust deposits made by any domestic insurance company for the purpose of complying with the laws of any other state, to enable the company to do business in the other state, and shall also, in a like manner, take and hold any deposits made by a foreign insurance company under any law of the state. The company making the deposits shall be entitled to the income of the deposits, and may, from time to time, with the consent of the state treasurer, when not forbidden by the law under which the deposits are made, change, in whole or in part, the securities that compose the deposit for other competent securities of equal value. Upon the request of any domestic insurance company, the state treasurer may return to the company the whole or any portion of the securities of the company, when the state treasurer is satisfied that the securities so asked to be returned are subject to no liability, and not required to be longer held by any law or purpose of the original deposit. The state treasurer may return to the trustees or other representatives, authorized for that purpose, of a foreign insurance company, any deposit made by the company, when it appears that the company has ceased to do business in the state, and is under no obligations to policyholders or other persons in the state or in the United States, for whose benefit the deposit was made.
