(DAR NOTE: This change in proposed rule has been filed to make additional changes to a proposed amendment that was published in the March 1, 2005, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 26. Underlining in the rule below indicates text that has been added since the publication of the proposed rule mentioned above; strike-out indicates text that has been deleted.

NAIC Uniform Property and Casualty Transmittal Document (January 1, 2005)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

This will have no impact on the state's budget or on the work required of department personnel. No fees or filings will be required of department licensees as a result of this change and therefore no change to the state's budget.

local governments:

The changes to this rule will have no impact on local government since the rule only deals with the relationship of Utah licensed property and casualty insurers and the department.

other persons:

This change will have little if any fiscal impact on Utah licensed property and casualty insurers doing business in Utah. Insurers use the transmittal form to file their rate and form changes with the department. The only possible expense to the insured will be the cost to printing this form. This may not be an expense if the insurer sends its filings electronically. There should be no fiscal impact on consumers.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

This change will have little if any fiscal impact on Utah licensed property and casualty insurers doing business in Utah. Insurers use the transmittal form to file their rate and form changes with the department. The only possible expense to the insured will be the cost to printing this form. This may not be an expense if the insurer sends its filings electronically. There should be no fiscal impact on consumers.

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

There will be very little, if any, fiscal impact to Utah businesses. The only possible impact will be to property and casualty insurers doing business in Utah who print the new form. D. Kent Michie, Commissioner
