The Department also will consider on Nov. 30 Docket No. 2604, approval of proposed new 28 TAC §§5.9310, 5.9320, 5.9330-5.9332, 5.9340-5.9342, 5.9350-5.9352, and 5.9355-5.9357 concerning filing requirements for residential property, personal automobile and various commercial lines of insurance, including requirements for filing certain underwriting guidelines and credit scoring models.
The proposed sections are necessary to implement and clarify the various filing requirements of insurers so that insurers will be able to make the necessary filings and be in compliance with the regulatory changes enacted by SB 14 and HB 1865. The new divisions and amended sections are proposed under Insurance Code Articles 5.06, 5.13, 5.13-2, 5.13-2C, 5.35, 5.41-3, 5.55, 5.57, 5.145, 21.49-2U, 21.50 and §§36.001 and 38.002.
