AI Summary

  • Title insurance agents may be examined by the director on compliance with Idaho Code title 41 and related rules, with examinations limited to no more than every five years unless the agent requests otherwise or cause exists.

  • Title agent responses affirmatively designated as public by the agency become nonexempt public records, while working papers and other examination records remain exempt unless needed in a proceeding under chapter 2, title 41, Idaho Code.

  • Annual and quarterly reports filed by self-funded plans under sections 41-4011 and 41-4111 are designated as public records available to the public, notwithstanding other exemptions from disclosure.
