Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

This change will have no impact on the state's budget nor on the work of the Insurance Department.

local governments:

This change will have very little fiscal impact on property and casualty insurers doing business in Utah and throughout the United States. Two forms used by the insurers in filing their new rates and forms with states have changed. Information requested on the forms has changed slightly. The affected insurers are already aware of these changes and are using the new forms. The newly formated forms are provided to the insurers and the only cost to insurers is the printing cost.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

This change will have very little fiscal impact on property and casualty insurers doing business in Utah and throughout the United States. Two forms used by the insurers in filing their new rates and forms with states have changed. Information requested on the forms has changed slightly. The affected insurers are already aware of these changes and are using the new forms. The newly formated forms are provided to the insurers and the only cost to insurers is the printing cost.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

The changes to this rule will have very little fiscal impact on property and casualty insurers doing business in Utah. All of these insurers had an opportunity to provide their suggestions and input when these changes were made by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
