SUBCHAPTER K. COMMERCIAL MULTI-PERIL POLICIES

28 TAC §5.9101

The Commissioner of Insurance adopts the repeal of §5.9101 concerning commercial multi-peril package policies. The section is repealed without changes to the proposal as published in the September 17, 2004, issue of the Texas Register (28 TexReg 8985) and will not be republished.

Senate Bill 14 (SB 14), enacted by the 78 th Legislature, 2003, Regular Session, revised the regulatory scheme for the lines of insurance that may be included in commercial multi-peril policies. All lines that may be included in a commercial multi-peril package policy are subject to Texas Insurance Code Article 5.13-2, as amended by SB 14. Repeal of §5.9101 is necessary to enable the department to adopt new rules that reflect the regulatory scheme of Article 5.13-2. Simultaneous to this adopted repeal, adopted new §5.5005 is published elsewhere in this issue of the Texas Register .

The adopted repeal will eliminate §5.9101, which does not reflect the statutory amendments of SB 14. The repeal of §5.9101 is necessary for the department to implement the rate regulatory scheme for the lines of insurance included in a commercial multi-peril policy in accordance with Article 5.13-2 as amended by SB 14.

SUMMARY OF COMMENTS AND AGENCY RESPONSE. No comments were received on the proposed repeal.
