2021 Indiana Code|Title 27. Insurance|Article 8. Life, Accident, and Health|Chapter 31. Interstate Insurance Product Regulation Compact|27-8-31-9. Commission Information and Records; Disclosure; Confidentiality; Compacting State Compliance and Oversight

Sec. 9. (a) The commission shall adopt rules establishing conditions and procedures for public inspection and copying of the commission's information and official records, except information and records involving the privacy of individuals and trade secrets of insurers. The commission may adopt additional rules under which the commission may make available to federal and state agencies, including law enforcement agencies, records and information otherwise exempt from disclosure, and may enter into agreements with these agencies to receive or exchange information or records subject to nondisclosure and confidentiality provisions.(b) Except as to privileged records, data, and information, the laws of any compacting state pertaining to confidentiality or nondisclosure shall not relieve any compacting state commissioner of the duty to disclose any relevant records, data, or information to the commission. However, disclosure to the commission shall not be considered to waive or otherwise affect any confidentiality requirement, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this chapter, the commission shall not be subject to the compacting state's laws pertaining to confidentiality and nondisclosure with respect to records, data, and information in the commission's possession. Confidential information of the commission remains confidential after the information is provided to any commissioner.(c) The commission shall monitor compacting states for compliance with duly adopted bylaws, rules, including uniform standards, and operating procedures. The commission shall notify any noncomplying compacting state in writing of the noncomplying compacting state's noncompliance with commission bylaws, rules, or operating procedures. If a noncomplying compacting state fails to remedy the noncomplying compacting state's noncompliance within the time specified in the notice of noncompliance, the compacting state is considered to be in default as set forth in section 16 of this chapter.(d) The commissioner of any state in which an insurer is authorized to do business or is conducting the business of insurance shall continue to exercise the commissioner's authority to oversee the market regulation of the activities of the insurer in accordance with the provisions of the state's law. The commissioner's enforcement of compliance with the compact is governed by the following:(1) With respect to the commissioner's market regulation of a product or an advertisement that is approved or certified to the commission, the content of the product or advertisement does not constitute a violation of the provisions, standards, or requirements of the compact except upon a final order of the commission, issued at the request of a commissioner after prior notice to the insurer and an opportunity for hearing before the commission.(2) Before a commissioner may bring an action for violation of a provision, standard, or requirement of the compact related to the content of an advertisement not approved or certified to the commission, the commission or an authorized commission officer or employee must authorize the action. However, authorization under this subdivision does not require:(A) notice to the insurer;(B) opportunity for hearing; or(C) disclosure of:(i) requests for authorization; or(ii) records of the commission's action on a request described in item (i).As added by P.L.138-2005, SEC.3.
