(1) Is domiciled in (or, in the case of a United States branch of an alien assuming insurer, is entered through) a state which employs standards regarding credit for reinsurance substantially similar to those applicable under sections 38a-85 to 38a-89, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes and sections 38a-88-1 to 38a-88-12, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies;

(2) The members of the pool are subject to several or joint and several liability;

(3) All members of the pool agree to file annually on or before March 1 with the Commissioner a copy of its annual statement filed with the insurance department of its state of domicile; and
