No. 41923 (5-year Review): Rule R590-241. Rule to Recognize the Preferred Mortality Tables for Use in Determining Minimum Reserve Liabilities
DAR File No.: 41923
Filed: 07/12/2017 03:17:21 PMNOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Subsection 31A-2-201(3) authorizes the Commissioner to write rules to implement the provisions of the Utah Insurance Code, Title 31A. Subsection 31A-17-402(1) requires the Commissioner to write rules to specify the liabilities required to be reported by an insurer in a financial statement and to set the methods of valuing these liabilities.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
The department has received no written comments regarding this rule during the past five years.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule was developed to recognize, permit, and prescribe the use of mortality tables that reflect differences in mortality between preferred and standard lives in determining minimum reserve liabilities. Without this rule, insurance companies would have to raise reserves held in support of the preferred business which, in turn, would require them to raise rates for the best risks. The rule enables more equitable pricing of life insurance policies. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
