Receivership

  • UILA – Uniform Insurers Liquidation Act
  • 1940 – LR – Legislation: The Uniform Insurers Liquidation Act – 12p
    • Although there has been a vast improvement in national bankruptcy legislation, with the passage of the Chandler Act in 1938,2 so that the receivership device has been abandoned to a large degree by most corporations, insurance companies have been excluded from the Act.3
      • Consequently, they must still rely upon receivership and local statutory substitutes for insolvency proceedings
  • 2021 – NAIC – Legislative Priorities – 1p
  • Support Legislation to Help Protect Policyholders During an Insurance Receivership
    • Current law provides no deadline to the federal government for filing claims in an insurance receivership, causing proceedings to drag on for years and reducing recoveries for insurance consumers.
    • Congress should support NAIC proposed legislation that would require the federal government to file claims it may have against insolvent insurance companies within a specified time consistent with bankruptcy proceedings.
  • Privide State Insurance Regulators a Vote on the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) (H.R. 3099)
    • The insurance sector is the only financial services sector whose primary regulator is not a voting member of the FSOC.
    • The Primary Regulators of Insurance Vote Act (H.R. 3099) would grant state regulators full participation on FSOC by allowing them to vote.
  • Oppose Preemption of State Insurance Data Privacy and Data Security Standards
    • Federal data privacy and security legislation should acknowledge the state insurance regulatory framework and not undermine state laws and regulations to protect the best interests of insurance consumers.
