    RULE ANALYSIS

    Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

    The purpose of this rule is to set forth the procedures for submitting life insurance filings.

     

    Summary of the rule or change:

    This rule combines an existing rule, Rule R590-86, Filing of Life and Disability Forms and Rates, and Insurance Bulletin 99-7, Procedures for the Submission of Life Form and Rate Filings. The information in Rule R590-86 is being split into three categories (life, credit, and annuities) so that each rule will deal solely with a particular line of insurance to better fit the marketplace. The only changes to what the life insurers are already required to do in regards to filing their forms with the department are: 1) the elimination of the requirement for a cover letter with each form filing; and 2) the change from the use of the department's transmittal form to that of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. This is to provide uniformity among all life insurance companies in the United States.

     

    State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

    Sections 31A-2-201, 31A-2-201.1, and 31A-2-202

     

    This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

    "NAIC Life, Accident and Health, Annuity, Credit Transmittal Document", dated January 1, 2003; "NAIC Uniform Life, Accident and Health, Annuity and Credit Coding Matrix", dated January 1, 2003; "NAIC Instruction Sheet for Life, Accident and Health, Annuity, Credit Transmittal Document", dated January 1, 2003; "NAIC Instruction Sheet for Life, Accident and Health, Annuity, Credit Transmittal Document Form Filing Attachment", dated January 1, 2003; "Utah Life Filing Certification", dated January 1, 2004; "Utah Life, Annuity, Credit Life, and Credit Accident and Health Group Questionnaire", dated January 1, 2004; "Utah Life, Annuity, Credit Life, and Credit Accident and Health Request for Discretionary Group Authorization", dated January 1, 2004; and "Utah Annual Life Insurance Illustration Certification Filing Checklist", dated January 1, 2004

     

    Anticipated cost or savings to:

    the state budget:

    This rule will not add to or eliminate work for the department, nor will it result in a cost or savings to the state's budget since it will not result in an increase or decrease in fees or fines.

     

    local governments:

    This rule affects the relationship between the department and their licensees and will have no effect on local government.

     

    other persons:

    This rule will have very little, if any, fiscal impact on life insurers doing business in Utah. The only change this rule will make that will affect the work load of life insurers is the elimination of the need to file a cover letter with each form filing. These cover letters describe what is in the filing, how the product is marketed and what the form does. It is usually one or two pages long. This will save someone a little time but should not result in the elimination of a position. As a result, there should be no cost shifting to consumers of life insurance products.

     

    Compliance costs for affected persons:

    This rule will have very little, if any, fiscal impact on life insurers doing business in Utah. The only change this rule will make that will affect the work load of life insurers is the elimination of the need to file a cover letter with each form filing. These cover letters describe what is in the filing, how the product is marketed and what the form does. It is usually one or two pages long. This will save someone a little time but should not result in the elimination of a position. As a result, there should be no cost shifting to consumers of life insurance products.

     

    Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

    This new rule should have little to no impact on life insurance companies doing business in Utah.
