2025 DRAFT BILL PROPOSALS

Working with industry and staff, the CSI has identified where the code needs to be changed because of errors, outdated language, ease of operation, etc. All changes will be agreed upon by the parties, or they will not be included in the final bill.

Allows the Department of Revenue to share taxpayer information when conducting securities or insurance fraud investigations.

Updates the Unfair Trade Practices Act to better align with the current National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Model Act.

Removes the cap on premium taxes for certain captive insurers to better align with how they operate compared to traditional insurers.
