Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.

Stronger confidentiality for insurer group data

Beginning July 1, 2025, the commissioner must keep group capital calculations, capital ratios, and liquidity stress test results and disclosures confidential, including information from the Federal Reserve and non‑U.S. supervisors. Documents held by the NAIC or a commissioner‑designated consultant are confidential and privileged, not public records, not subject to subpoena, and not usable in private civil cases. Agreements with the NAIC or a consultant must bar permanent database storage of shared information after analysis, except for liquidity test information. If a consultant will handle liquidity test materials, affected insurers must be told who the consultant is.

Liquidity stress tests for large insurers

Beginning July 1, 2025, the ultimate controlling person of any registered insurer that meets the scope rules must file that year’s liquidity stress test results with the lead state. Filings must follow that year’s national framework, instructions, and templates, plus any lead state determinations in the framework. The NAIC financial stability task force reviews the scope each year; changes take effect January 1 of the year after adoption. If an insurer meets any scope threshold, it is in unless the lead state excludes it after consultation. If it meets none, it is out unless the lead state includes it after consultation.

Definitions and rulemaking for new tests

Beginning July 1, 2025, the law defines the group capital calculation instructions, the liquidity stress test framework, the scope criteria, and who counts as a third‑party consultant. It updates the statute’s cross‑reference to include the new section. The usual “materiality” threshold does not limit group capital or liquidity stress test filings. The Department of Insurance must issue rules to carry out this law.

Insurers’ group capital filings and exemptions

Beginning July 1, 2025, the ultimate controlling person of each registered insurer must file a yearly group capital calculation and ratio with the lead state, using national instructions. Some groups are exempt, including a single‑insurer domestic group that assumes no other insurer’s business, groups where the Federal Reserve’s calculation can be obtained, and groups overseen by a reciprocal non‑U.S. supervisor that recognizes U.S. group rules. A group may also be exempt if it gives the lead state information that meets NAIC accreditation standards and, for non‑reciprocal foreign supervisors, that supervisor accepts the group capital calculation as the worldwide assessment. The lead state commissioner can require a filing for U.S. operations of non‑U.S. groups, grant or revoke exemptions, or accept a limited filing by rule. If an exemption ends, the filing is due at the next annual date unless the commissioner grants an extension.

No public ads about capital or liquidity

Beginning July 1, 2025, regulators can use group capital and liquidity stress tests to check risk. They cannot use them to rank insurers. Public ads or statements about a group’s capital calculation, capital ratio, liquidity stress test results, or related disclosures are banned unless the law allows them. The commissioner may deem such statements misleading. An insurer may publish a narrow written rebuttal if it proves a published claim is materially false or an inappropriate comparison.
