Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 46.  (a) The comparison of an insurer's total adjusted capital to any of its RBC levels is a regulatory tool that may indicate the need for possible corrective action with respect to the insurer and it is not intended as a means to rank insurers generally.  Except as provided in subsection (b), the action of an insurer, an insurance producer, a broker, or other person engaged in any manner in the insurance business, in:

(1) making, publishing, disseminating, circulating, or placing before the public;  or

(2) causing, directly or indirectly to be made, published, disseminated, circulated, or placed before the public, in a newspaper, magazine, or other publication, or in the form of a notice, circular, pamphlet, letter, or poster, or over any radio or television station, or in any other way;

an advertisement, an announcement, or a statement containing an assertion, a representation, or a statement regarding the RBC level of an insurer or any component derived in the calculation of the RBC level of an insurer is misleading and is prohibited.

(b) If:

(1) a materially false statement with respect to the comparison regarding an insurer's total adjusted capital to an RBC level of the insurer or an inappropriate comparison of any other amount to the insurer's RBC levels is published in any written publication;  and

(2) the insurer is able to demonstrate to the commissioner with substantial proof the:

(A) falsity;  or

(B) inappropriateness;

of the statement;

the insurer may publish an announcement in a written publication if the sole purpose of the announcement is to rebut the materially false statement.
