This proposal modifies the law so that the criteria used for issuing extraordinary dividends for life insurance companies is applied to property and casualty insurance companies. The proposal also defines net income as excluding net realized capital gains to the extent that realized capital gains exceed realized capital losses.



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