Operative words

[The Commissioner reminds property and] casualty insurers to review and abide by all of the requirements contained in COMAR 31.08.12 with respect to temporary insurance moratoriums. These requirements include, but are not limited to the [following]: 1. An insurer may not implement a moratorium unless the insurer has previously filed a moratorium protocol with the Administration for all lines of business that the insurer may wish to implement a moratorium; 2. The filed moratorium protocol must identify the events that will trigger and deactivate a [moratorium]

Enforcement

COMAR 31.08.12; Md. Code, Ins. § 4-113

Notes

Issued as Hurricane Isaias approached, during the COVID-19 State of Emergency.

Retrieval note

Marginal to COVID-19; retained because it governs insurer moratoria during the emergency.
