 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 AN ACT
 relating to the annual reporting of certain information regarding
 property and casualty insurance.
 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 SECTION 1.  Section 2251.008(c), Insurance Code, is amended
 to read as follows:
 (c)  The report required by this section must cover a
 calendar year and:
 (1)  for each insurer that writes a line of insurance
 subject to this subchapter, must state the insurer's:
 (A)  market share;
 (B)  profits and losses;
 (C)  average loss ratio; and
 (D)  whether the insurer submitted a rate filing
 during the year covered in the report; [and]
 (2)  for each rate filing identified [submitted] under
 Subdivision (1)(D), must indicate any significant impact on
 policyholders, the overall rate change from the rate previously
 used by the insurer stated as a percentage, and any rate changes for
 the previous 12, 24, and 36 months; and
 (3)  for each property and casualty insurer, must state
 the information required by Subdivisions (1) and (2) in the
 aggregate and by rating territory and county.
 SECTION 2.  Section 2251.008(c), Insurance Code, as amended
 by this Act, applies only to a report filed on or after January 1,

 as it existed immediately before the effective date of this Act, and
 that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
 SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
