Current through Laws 2024, c. 453.
Section 1682 - [Effective 11/1/2024] Purpose of act

This act is adopted to provide options to address the significant limitations in the current methods available to insurers to transfer or assume blocks of insurance business in an efficient and cost-effective manner that provides needed legal finality for such transfers in order to provide for improved operational and capital efficiency for insurance companies, stimulates the economy by attracting segments of the insurance industry to the state, makes Oklahoma an attractive home jurisdiction for insurance companies, encourages economic growth and increased investment in the financial services sector and increases the availability of quality insurance industry jobs in Oklahoma. These purposes are accomplished by providing a basis and procedures for the transfer and statutory novation of policies from a transferring insurer to an assuming insurer by way of an Insurance Business Transfer without the affirmative consent of policyholders or reinsureds. The novation is effected by court order. This act establishes the requirements for notice and disclosure and standards and procedures for the approval of the transfer and novation by the Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner and the district court pursuant to an Insurance Business Transfer Plan. This act does not limit or restrict other means of effecting a transfer or novation.
