Title 18 - Insurance Code
Chapter 19. Delaware Nonadmitted Insurance Act
Subchapter I. Compliance With Federal Statutes
§ 1903A Nonadmitted Reinsurance and Reform Act of 2010 Implementation Revenue Study.

(a) The Insurance Commissioner shall establish a Nonadmitted and Reinsurance Reform Act of 2010 [15 U.S.C. § 8201 et seq.] (NRRA) Implementation Revenue Study Committee to study the potential impact that would result from the State's entrance into an Agreement pursuant to § 1903 of this title in order to prevent the State from losing revenue after July 21, 2011, the effective date of the NRRA. The Committee shall determine if entering into an Agreement would result in retention of out-of-state surplus lines tax revenue for the State and, if so, which Agreement would result in the most retention of surplus lines tax revenue for the State and the most cost-efficient method of administering the collection and distribution of tax revenues. Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, the Committee shall report its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the chairs of the respective Senate and House committees, the Senate Pro-Tempore, the Speaker of the House and to the Controller General no later than January 2012.

(b) In the event that an interstate surplus lines tax allocation, reporting and payment system becomes operational and the Insurance Commissioner determines that the State of Delaware is likely to lose significant revenue by delaying the decision to enter into an Agreement pursuant to § 1903 of this title until after completion of the report by the NRRA Implementation Revenue Study Committee, then the Commissioner may enter into an Agreement after notice and hearing, which shall involve testimony regarding the Commissioner's determination, and the burden the tax allocation, reporting and payment system selected would impose on brokers.
