AI Summary

  • Adds health insurers to the category of insurers (alongside life, title, and property/casualty companies) that use the "greater of" test for determining extraordinary dividends—either 10% of surplus or net income for the preceding 12 months ending December 31

  • 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

  • Amends Section 382.210, RSMo, introduced by Representative Gosen during the 98th General Assembly First Regular Session
