is amended to read:

 
A. Every insurer which that is authorized to do business in
this State and which that is a member of an insurance
holding company system shall register with the
superintendent, except that such these requirements shall do
not apply to a foreign insurer domiciled in a jurisdiction
which that in the opinion of the superintendent has adopted
by statute or regulation disclosure statements and standards
substantially similar to those contained in this chapter.
Any An insurer domiciled in a jurisdiction that has not
adopted by statute or regulation disclosure requirements and
standards substantially similar to those contained in this
section may be treated as a domestic insurer for purposes of
this section. Each insurer which that is subject to
registration under this subsection shall register within 60
days after the effective date of this section or 15 days
after it becomes subject to registration, whichever is later
and annually thereafter by May 1st, unless the
superintendent, for good cause shown, extends the time for
registration and then an insurer must file within such that
extended time. Nothing in this section shall may be
construed to prohibit the superintendent from requesting any
authorized insurer which that is a member of a holding
company system and not subject to registration under this
section for a copy of the registration statement or other
information filed by such insurer with the insurance
regulatory authority of its state of domicile. Upon request
of the insurer or of the insurance regulatory authority of
another jurisdiction in which the insurer is authorized to
transact insurance, the superintendent at the insurer's
expense shall furnish a copy of the registration statement
or other information filed by a domestic insurer with the
superintendent pursuant to this chapter;
