DESCRIPTION

This proposal revises current law pertaining to all mutual insurance holding
companies.  A mutual insurance company can reorganize to become a mutual
insurance holding company.  The mutual shall file an application and plan
with the Director of Insurance, who shall conduct an adequate review and may
conduct a hearing.  The plan shall be approved unless it is not fair and
equitable to the policyholders.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
