Cal. Insurance Code - INS § 12116.5.
in effect(a)
The commissioner may, for good cause, implement by regulation, order, or written consent, reasonable conditions or limitations under which any or all admitted financial guaranty insurance corporations may insure the type of business described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 12100 or subdivision (a) of Section 12119, reduce reserves in respect of collateral described in paragraph (2) or (5) of subdivision (e) of Section 12100, or engage in the transactions described in subdivision (b) of Section 12106, when, in the judgment
of the commissioner, those conditions or limitations are necessary and appropriate to safeguard insurer solvency.
(b)
Whenever the reserves for outstanding liabilities for obligations insured under subdivision (c) of Section 12100 are determined by the commissioner to be inadequate, he or she shall require the insurer to maintain additional reserves.
(c)
The commissioner may disallow, for purposes of any financial statements or reports required or permitted to be filed under this code, the recognition of collateral authorized by paragraph (2) or (5) of subdivision (e) of Section 12100 if the commissioner finds after inquiry and review that the collateral fails to legally secure the obligations to which it relates, the collateral is inaccurately valued, the value of the collateral is insufficient in relation to the obligations secured, or the legality or value of the collateral
cannot readily be ascertained based on information provided.
(d)
The commissioner may require restatement or other relevant revision of any admitted financial guaranty insurer’s annual or other financial statement or report required or permitted to be filed under this code if the commissioner finds after inquiry and review that any transaction entered into under subdivision (b) of Section 12106 has the effect of distorting, misrepresenting, or otherwise rendering inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete the financial condition of the insurer in any material respect.
(e)
No credit default swap authorized or permitted to be insured, acquired, or otherwise used for any purpose by any admitted financial guaranty insurance corporation under any provision of this code shall be used in any manner for more than one purpose, or under more than one statutory authorization, unless authorized by
this code.
