Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
95 added · 90 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to Senate Bill No. 2124 mainly clarify definitions related to insurance companies in North Dakota's legal code. Importantly, the term "data call" is now defined to include inquiries that may occur before, during, or instead of a formal examination of an insurance company. This change matters because it broadens the types of inquiries that can be made under the law, potentially leading to more comprehensive oversight of insurance companies and better protection for consumers. Additionally, the updates streamline the language in the definitions, making it easier to understand and apply.
