Sec. 6765. Judicial review
(a) Jurisdiction
The appropriate United States district court shall have exclusive
jurisdiction over litigation involving the Association, including
disputes between the Association and its members that arise under this
subchapter. Suits brought in State court involving the Association shall
be deemed to have arisen under Federal law and therefore be subject to
jurisdiction in the appropriate United States district court.
(b) Exhaustion of remedies
An aggrieved person shall be required to exhaust all available
administrative remedies before the Association and the NAIC before it
may seek judicial review of an Association decision.
(c) Standards of review
The standards set forth in section 553 of title 5 shall be applied
whenever a rule or bylaw of the Association is under judicial review,
and the standards set forth in section 554 of title 5 shall be applied
whenever a disciplinary action of the Association is judicially
reviewed.
