SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Insurance contracts; principle-based reserve basis; use of valuation manual. Requires insurance companies to use (i) a principle-based reserve basis for life, annuity, and accident and health insurance contracts and (ii) a Valuation Manual adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The measure implements the NAIC's revised Standard Valuation Law model (SVL). The revised model authorizes a principle-based reserve (PBR) basis for life, annuity, and accident and health contracts. A PBR valuation is a reserve valuation that uses one or more methods or one or more assumptions determined by the insurer pursuant to requirements contained in the SVL and the Valuation Manual. The NAIC's Valuation Manual contains both PBR and non-PBR requirements and requirements regarding actuarial opinions and corporate governance. The Valuation Manual will become effective on January 1 of the first calendar year following the first July 1 as of which certain requirements have been met, including a condition that at least 42 states or other U.S. jurisdictions have enacted the revised SVL or substantially similar terms and provisions. The measure has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2015.
