DAR File No.: 38795
Filed: 08/20/2014 11:38:34 AMNOTICE 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 Title 31A. Subsection 31A-22-425(1) authorizes the commissioner to make rules to establish standards for buyer's guides and disclosures. The rule requires insurers to deliver to purchasers of life insurance, information which will improve the purchaser's ability to select a plan of life insurance most appropriate for them.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
During the comment period, a comment was received from Hunter Finch of GOPB requesting that a publication date be inserted in Subsection R590-79-4(A), which it incorporates by reference a Life Insurance Buyer's Guide. This change was made when a change in proposed rule filing was done on 10/01/2009. Otherwise, the department has received no other written comments regarding this rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The rule requires disclosure of basic life policy features specified in Title 31A, Chapter 22, Part 4, and specifies the format for disclosure. The disclosure informs and assists consumers in understanding the policy they purchase. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
