Previously, health insurers fell under the "all other insurers" category, which used a more restrictive "lesser of" test (10% of surplus or net investment income)

Insurers must provide 30 days notice to the director before paying extraordinary dividends, and the director may approve or disapprove within that period

Extraordinary dividends may only be paid if the company's surplus remains reasonable relative to outstanding liabilities and adequate for financial needs after the transaction
