DESCRIPTION
This proposal modifies the criteria used for issuing extraordinary dividends by property and casualty insurance companies. Under the current law, holding companies can issue extraordinary dividends to shareholders over a certain level by meeting statutory criteria. Under this proposal, the law is modified so that the criteria used for issuing extraordinary dividends for life insurance companies is applied to other types of insurance companies
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
