(a) The purpose of this article is to provide the Insurance Commissioner a summary of an insurer or insurance group's corporate governance structure, policies, and practices to permit the commissioner to gain and maintain an understanding of the insurer's corporate governance framework and outline the requirements for completing a corporate governance annual disclosure with the Insurance Commissioner. The requirements of this article shall apply to all insurers domiciled in this state.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that the Corporate Governance Annual Disclosure and related information will contain confidential and sensitive information related to an insurer or insurance group's internal operations and proprietary and trade secret information that, if made public, could potentially cause the insurer or insurance group competitive harm or disadvantage.
(c) This article shall not be construed to prescribe or impose corporate governance standards and internal procedures beyond that which is required under applicable state corporate law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this article shall not be construed to limit the commissioner's authority or the rights or obligations of third parties, under Article 4 (commencing with Section 729) relating to the examination of insurers.
