Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Small insurance transactions get disclosure relief

Insurers and health service organizations can leave small transactions out of related registration disclosures. This covers sales, purchases, exchanges, loans, credit arrangements, investments, and guarantees. Each transaction must equal 0.5% or less of admitted assets—assets counted under insurance rules—on December 31 of the prior year. The Insurance Commissioner can still require disclosure by regulation or order. This exemption does not remove group capital calculation or liquidity stress test reporting duties.

Insurance capital reports with filing exemptions

Ultimate controllers of insurers required to register must file yearly group capital calculations with the lead-state commissioner at registration. Calculations follow National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) instructions; another control person can file when authorized. A single-insurer group is exempt only when its insurer operates and is authorized solely in its home state and assumes no other insurer's business. Groups with shareable Federal Reserve capital calculations are also exempt. Foreign-supervised groups qualify through NAIC-recognized reciprocal jurisdictions or information-sharing arrangements with supervisors that recognize the calculation as a worldwide assessment. The commissioner can grant waivers or accept simplified filings based on a reasonable showing. The commissioner can require calculations for a foreign-based group's U.S. operations for prudent supervision, solvency oversight, or market competition. Groups losing an exemption must file by the next annual deadline unless granted an extension for reasonable cause. Capital calculations, ratios, liquidity tests, results, and related disclosures are confidential supervisory tools, not public ratings. Except as required by law, they cannot be publicly disclosed, subpoenaed, obtained through discovery, or used as evidence in private civil lawsuits. Public statements about these measures are prohibited and deemed deceptive, except where law requires them. An insurer or health service organization can publish a written rebuttal advertisement only after proving a substantially false statement to the Commissioner with substantial evidence.

Insurance groups face cash stress tests

Ultimate controllers of covered insurers and health service organizations must submit one-year liquidity stress test results to the lead-state commissioner. These tests assess cash needs under stress, using National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) templates and instructions. Groups meeting at least one NAIC scope criterion are included; those meeting none are excluded. The commissioner can change either result in coordination with the NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or its successor. That task force reviews scope criteria at least yearly. Framework or data-year scope changes take effect January 1 of the year after adoption. The commissioner uses the framework, with task force advice, to assess liquidity risks and supervise covered insurers. Testing strengthens oversight but adds reporting work for covered groups.

Yearly risk reports for insurance groups

The law takes effect immediately upon approval. Ultimate controllers of Puerto Rico-based insurers and domestic health service organizations must file yearly reports on major group risks. Reports must identify risks that, without timely fixes, could harm the organization's finances or ability to pay. They follow the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Financial Analysis Handbook and go to the lead-state insurance commissioner. This gives regulators stronger oversight tools but adds reporting work for insurance groups.
