Rule R590-68
Insider Trading of Equity Securities of Domestic Stock Insurance Companies
Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 41438
Filed: 04/04/2017 12:58:50 PM
NOTICE 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 make rules to implement Title 31A, the Utah Insurance Code. Subsection 31A-5-303(3)(a) authorizes the commissioner to adopt a rule to "define terms and prescribe conditions regarding securities held in an investment account and transactions made in the ordinary course of business and incident to the establishment or maintenance of a primary or secondary market."
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 gives substantial, additional guidance regarding Section 31A-5-303, Insider Trading of Securities. Without this additional and much more detailed guidance, several forms of exemption from the requirements of the statute would not be apparent or effectively available to entities to whom the described situations apply. This lack of guidance would be confusing at best and at worst could lead to costly decisions being made in error regarding the form of any insider trading transaction or the absence thereof. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
