(a) In addition to the investment authority granted to insurers under Code Sections 33-11-20, 33-11-21, and other applicable provisions of this title, an insurer authorized to transact insurance in this state, other than an insurer authorized to transact mortgage guaranty insurance, may invest in, purchase, or hold a mortgage or a mortgage participation, pass-through, conventional pass-through, trust certificate, or other similar security which represents an undivided, beneficial interest in a pool of loans secured by first mortgages, deeds of trust, or deeds to secure debt upon fee simple, unencumbered, improved, or income-producing real property located in the United States or Canada, which is improved with a residential building or a condominium unit or buildings designed for occupancy by not more than four families, including leasehold estates in such real estate if such first mortgages, deeds of trust, or deeds to secure debt are fully guaranteed or insured by the Federal Housing Administration, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the Farmers Home Administration, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or any other similar governmental entity or instrumentality or by an insurer authorized to transact mortgage guaranty insurance in this state in accordance with such rules and regulations as may be promulgated by the Commissioner after due notice and hearing.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this title which might be construed to the contrary, the Commissioner may, in his discretion, grant, deny, or revoke the authority of any authorized insurer to invest in or to continue to hold its investment in such securities if, after due notice and hearing, he shall determine that such continued investments would be hazardous to such insurer's policyholders or to the public. In such event, the Commissioner shall give such company a reasonable period of time, not to exceed three years, to dispose of such investments as otherwise provided for in this title, subject to such extensions of time or exceptions as the Commissioner, in his discretion, may grant.
