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.
