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:

Section 31A-2-201 authorizes the commissioner to write rules to implement the provisions of the Insurance Code, Title 31A. In this case, the rule sets forth requirements that are necessary to carry on the provisions of Section 31A-17-404.

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 received one comment regarding this rule during the past five years. The comment was in support of the rule and its efforts to implement collateral reform for reinsurance.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Credit for reinsurance has relevance for many Utah insurance companies and may be a significant factor in establishing their solvency position. The rule lays out the detailed requirements that apply to this important area. It provides protection to the ceding insurers within the state of Utah and to the individuals insured. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
