HB32 Alabama 2021 Session

Under existing law, an insurance company may enter into an insurance contract to insure a risk and the insurance company may reinsure the risk with another insurance company. The Insurance Department generally requires a company to maintain reserves and regulates when an insurance company entering into a reinsurance contract with another insurer may receive credit against its otherwise required reserves

This bill would make Alabama's law regulating reinsurers and the credit an insurer may apply against its otherwise required reserves substantially similar to the current version of the Credit for Reinsurance Model Law developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners

Relating to insurance; to implement the reinsurance collateral provisions of the covered agreements that were entered into between the United States and the European Union and the United Kingdom, and for those purposes to amend Sections 27-5B-3, 27-5B-9, 27-5B-11, 27-5B-14, and 27-5B-19, Code of Alabama 1975, and to add Sections 27-5B-8.1 and 27-5B-20 to the Code of Alabama 1975.
