HB 126 - AMENDMENTS
HCS - Retain original provisions except delete references to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and substitute the appropriate financial examination statutory references in lieu thereof; provide that the same lead or coordinating partner, rather than the same accountant or partner, of an accounting firm shall not be responsible for preparing the audited financial statement for more than 5 consecutive years; add "gross negligence" to the acts of misconduct which would subject an appointed actuary to liability for damages; delete the provision that confidential and privileged information in the control of the Office of Insurance shall not be subject to public inspection, subpoena, discovery, or admissible as evidence in a private civil action, and insert in lieu thereof a provision that the confidentiality and privilege protections shall not extend to any nonregulatory person or entity holding the information.
