  • Adds new subsection (6.5) to Colorado law allowing reinsurance credit for assuming insurers domiciled in "reciprocal jurisdictions" that meet specified financial and regulatory requirements, without requiring collateral in some cases.

  • Establishes reciprocal jurisdiction categories including non-U.S. jurisdictions with U.S. covered agreements, NAIC-accredited U.S. jurisdictions, and qualified jurisdictions approved by the Insurance Commissioner.

  • Requires assuming insurers to maintain minimum capital and surplus amounts, minimum solvency ratios, and confirm annual compliance; must provide prompt notice if falling below minimums and consent to Colorado court jurisdiction and service of process.

  • Mandates the Insurance Commissioner create and publish lists of reciprocal jurisdictions and eligible assuming insurers, with authority to suspend or revoke eligibility if requirements are no longer met.

  • Takes effect 90 days after final adjournment of the general assembly, subject to referendum petition approval by voters in November 2022 if challenged.
