Bill Analysis

HB 2491 would amend the Insurance Code to allow an insurer to provide reinsurance on any line of insurance. Next, credit would be allowed when reinsurance is ceded to an assuming insurer that meets a series of eight regulations. Associations may become certified reinsurers as well if they meet four requirements. Finally, the Commissioner of Insurance would be required to assign ratings to each certified reinsurer.  

Vote Recommendation Notes

This legislation is procedural or administrative in nature with no bearing on our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
