On April 11, 2018 Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts (R) signed Legislative Bill 815 into law, joining the surge of states amending their insurance laws regarding when ceding insurers may claim credit for reinsurance. The introducer’s “Statement of Intent” indicates the bill’s intent to “adopt the latest updates to the credit for reinsurance model law” published by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The bulk of the amendments provide additional authority to the state Director of Insurance to regulate the circumstances and requirements for authorizing credit for reinsurance. Specifically, the bill authorizes the Director to promulgate rules and regulations relating to the valuation of assets or reserve credits, amount and form of security backing reinsurance agreements, or the circumstances surrounding reduction or elimination of credit. It also grants the Director the authority to promulgate specialized rules and regulations applicable only to reinsurance relating to specialized term and universal life insurance policies, variable annuities, and long-term care policies.
