  • Both the NASAA and the NAIC committee Members agreed to  have the first working session scheduled for August 13-14, 1980 in Wisconsin.

    • The meeting on the 14th will be closed to the public.
    • The presentations may identify marketed products that mayor may not fall within the regulations of a state's insurance or securities laws.
    • The committee determined that future sessions at which  regulatory policy would be discussed would be closed. 
    • Any final recommendations of the committee however, would be subject to full disclosure to the insurance and securities industries and would be subject to their comments.

  • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - April 6, 1982 - Report on Joint NASAA/NAIC Committee
  • The chairman brought the members of the task force up to date on the main issues discussed at the October 1981 meeting in Burlington, Vermont.
    • At that meeting the joint committee decided to suspend all further activities because of fundamental differences between the NASAA members and the NAIC members on the issue of the regulation of new life insurance products.
    • Commissioner Omholt noted that while the NASAA part of the joint committee had been dissolved soon thereafter, it will probably be revived in the near future.

1982-2, NAIC Proc.

  • 3. Report on the Study of Securities Laws and Their Application to Life Insurance
  • Commissioner Foudree indicated that the task force has not pursued this item since suspension of the Joint NASAA/NAIC Committee's activities at the Burlington, Vermont meeting.
    • He suggested that the task force should study the state insurance laws to decide whether changes are needed in view of the new life products being sold.
    • To facilitate such a study, the task force adopted a motion that the NAIC staff contact all the states to ascertain what administrative and/or enforcement activities have been undertaken with regard to the new life products.
    • Philip R O'Connor, Illinois insurance director, noted that on Wednesday, April 6, 1982, he planned to present to the Executive Committee an Illinois Insurance Department report on the universal life type products,
      • He agreed to provide copies of this report to task force members who indicated interest in receiving it.
  • 1. Report of the Activities of Joint NASAA/NAIC Committee
    • The chairman also noted that the task force met independently of the joint committee on October 19 and 29 to discuss possible approaches to the regulation of new and innovative life insurance products such as universal life.
    • The chairman briefly summarized universal life and indicated the importance of studying such products and, if necessary, developing safeguards to protect consumers.
  • In summary, the insurance regulators on the committee felt that the NAIC and NASAA positions on the regulation of new life insurance products are so fundamentally different that they do not presently lend themselves to reconciliation.
