§ 8508. Product filing and approval
(a) Insurers and third-party filers seeking to have a product approved by the Commission
shall file the product with, and pay applicable filing fees to, the Commission. Nothing
in this chapter shall be construed to restrict or otherwise prevent an insurer from
filing its product with the insurance department in any state where the insurer is
licensed to conduct the business of insurance, and such filing shall be subject to
the laws of the states where filed.
(b) The Commission shall establish appropriate filing and review processes and procedures
pursuant to Commission rules and operating procedures. Notwithstanding any provision
of this chapter to the contrary, the Commission shall adopt rules to establish conditions
and procedures under which the Commission will provide public access to product filing
information. In establishing such rules, the Commission shall consider the interests
of the public in having access to such information, as well as protection of personal
medical and financial information and trade secrets, that may be contained in a product
filing or supporting information.
(c) Any product approved by the Commission may be sold or otherwise issued in those compacting
states for which the insurer is legally authorized to do business. (Added 2005, No. 70, § 2; amended 2021, No. 105 (Adj. Sess.), § 276, eff. July 1, 2022.)
