DIGEST
Quinn (SB 321)
Present law grants a reduction of insurance premium tax based upon the average of the
percentage of the insurer's assets which are invested and maintained in "qualifying Louisiana
investments" at the end of each fiscal quarter for a fiscal year.
Present law defines two of the types of "qualifying Louisiana investments" as certificates of
deposit issued in Louisiana by financial institutions operating in the state or cash on deposit
in an account in Louisiana in a financial institution operating in the state.
Proposed law provides that evidence of these qualifying Louisiana investments may be
established by a deposit receipt, a bank statement, or a letter or other written document from
the depository institution verifying that the funds were deposited in Louisiana.
Effective July 1, 2010.
(Amends R.S. 22:832(C)(1) and (7))
