The amendments to Bill HB 1398 update the requirements for insurance companies regarding the publication of their annual statements. Now, all companies that are not state or county mutual insurance companies must publish their annual statement abstracts three times in a designated newspaper within each judicial district where they operate, ensuring broader visibility and distribution. For state or county mutual insurance companies, the abstract must still be published, but only once in a local newspaper. This change aims to enhance transparency and accessibility of insurance company information to the public.
