1 directed by the lead state commissioner. The report shall be completed in
2 accordance with the NAIC group capital calculation instructions, which may permit
3 the lead state commissioner to allow a controlling person that is not the ultimate

14 group capital calculation specified by the United States Federal Reserve Board. The
15 lead state commissioner shall request the calculation from the federal reserve board

29 supervision approach, as detailed in the NAIC Financial Analysis Handbook.

1 (ii) The non-U.S. group-wide supervisor, that is not in a reciprocal
2 jurisdiction, recognizes and accepts, as specified by the commissioner in regulation,
3 the group capital calculation as the world-wide group capital assessment for United
4 States insurance groups who operate in that jurisdiction.
5 (3) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subparagraphs (2)(c) and (d) of this
6 Subsection, a lead state commissioner shall require the group capital calculation for
7 U.S. operations of any non-U.S. based insurance holding company system where,

9 appropriate by the lead state commissioner for prudential oversight and solvency
10 monitoring purposes or for ensuring the competitiveness of the insurance
11 marketplace.
12 (4) Notwithstanding the exemptions from filing the group capital calculation
13 in Subparagraphs (2)(c) and (d) of this Subsection, the lead state commissioner has
14 the discretion to exempt the ultimate controlling person from filing the annual group
15 capital calculation or to accept a limited group capital filing or report in accordance
16 with the criteria as specified by the commissioner through rules and regulations.

18 system no longer meets one or more of the requirements for an exemption from

20 company system shall file the group capital calculation at the next annual filing date,
21 unless given an extension by the commissioner based on reasonable grounds shown.
22 N.(1) Liquidity stress test. The ultimate controlling person of every insurer
23 subject to registration and scoped into the NAIC liquidity stress test framework shall
24 file the results of its liquidity stress test. The filing shall be made to the lead state
25 insurance commissioner of the insurance holding company system as determined by
26 the procedures within the Financial Analysis Handbook adopted by the NAIC.

28 applicable to a specific data year. These scope criteria are reviewed at least annually
29 by the financial stability task force or its successor. Any change to the NAIC

1 liquidity stress test framework or to the data year for which the scope criteria are to
2 be measured shall be effective on the first of January of the year following the
3 calendar year such changes are adopted. Insurers meeting at least one threshold of
4 the scope criteria are considered scoped into the NAIC liquidity stress test
5 framework for the specified data year, unless the lead state insurance commissioner,
6 in consultation with the NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or its successor,
7 determines the insurer should not be scoped into the framework for that data year.
8 Similarly, insurers that do not meet at least one threshold of the scope criteria are
9 considered scoped out of the NAIC liquidity stress test framework for the specified
10 data year, unless the lead state insurance commissioner, in consultation with the
11 NAIC Financial Stability Task Force or its successor, determines the insurer should
12 be scoped into the framework for that data year.
13 (3) The lead state commissioner, in consultation with the Financial Stability
14 Task Force or its successor, shall address concerns regarding regulators wishing to
15 avoid being scoped in and out of the NAIC liquidity stress test framework on a
16 frequent basis.
17 (4) The performance of, and filing of the results from, a specific year's
18 liquidity stress test shall comply with the NAIC liquidity stress test framework's
19 instructions and reporting templates for that year and any lead state insurance
20 commissioner determinations, in conjunction with the Financial Stability Task Force
21 or its successor, provided within the framework.
22 O. Violations. The failure to file a registration statement or any summary
23 of the registration statement or enterprise risk filing required by this Section within

5 incorporated by reference to the item. No materials shall be incorporated by
6 reference in any instance that the incorporation would render the statement
7 incomplete, unclear, or confusing.

9 document, only a brief statement shall be made as to the pertinent provisions of the
10 document. In addition to the brief statement, the summary or outline may
11 incorporate, by reference, particular parts of any exhibit or document currently on
12 file with the commissioner which was filed within three years and may be included
13 in its entirety by the reference. In any case where two or more documents required

8 a condition that would be grounds for supervision, conservation, or a delinquency
9 proceeding, such that a deposit or bond is necessary, the commissioner may

25 otherwise, and restrict the use of the data by the affiliate if it is not operating the
26 insurer’s business. The affiliate shall provide a waiver of any landlord lien or other
27 encumbrance to give the insurer access to all records and data, if the affiliate defaults

Abstract: Provides for the Insurance Holding Company System Regulatory Law.
Proposed law defines "group capital calculation instructions", "NAIC liquidity stress test

group capital calculation.
Proposed law provides that the ultimate controlling person of every insurer subject to

Framework for that data year.
