    RULE ANALYSIS

    Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

    Based on a need to store filings electronically and an increasing number of electronic filings, a policy change was made to require only electronic filings.

    Summary of the rule or change:

    The rule changes set standards for electronic filing. While reviewing the rule, numerous format and grammatical changes were made to enhance clarity.

    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 March 1, 2007; "NAIC Uniform Life, Accident and Health, Annuity and Credit Coding Matrix," dated March 1, 2007; "NAIC Life, Accident and Health, Annuity, Credit Transmittal Document (Instructions)," dated March 1, 2007; "Utah Annuity Filing Certification," dated July 2007; "Utah Life and Annuity Group Questionnaire," dated July 2007; and "Utah Life and Annuity Request for Discretionary Group Authorization," dated July 2007

    Anticipated cost or savings to:

    the state budget:

    There will be a mid-term savings due to reduced need to store paper and an immediate savings in time and workload due to less incoming mail and the need to handle paper filings. There will be no change in the fees coming into the department.

    local governments:

    The changes to this rule will have no effect on local governments since it deals solely with the relationship between the department and their licensees.

    other persons:

    For those insurers not already filing electronically there will be a transaction fee of $6 to $15 per filing. Some of this will be offset by the elimination of printing and mailing costs. There will be minimal, if any, fiscal impact on consumers.

    Compliance costs for affected persons:

    For those insurers not already filing electronically there will be a transaction fee of $6 to $15 per filing. Some of this will be offset by the elimination of printing and mailing costs. There will be minimal, if any, fiscal impact on consumers.

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

    The fiscal impact of these changes on annuity insurers will be minimal and will vary according to the size and number of filings an insurer sends to the department. Kent Michie, Commissioner
