Chapter 376 Life, Health and Accident Insurance
Section 376.1130. Rulemaking authority.

376.1130. 1. The director shall promulgate reasonable rules to promote premium adequacy and to provide alternatives for the policyholder in the event of substantial rate increases, and to establish minimum standards for marketing practices, agent testing, penalties, and reporting practices for long-term care insurance.

2. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in sections 376.1121 to 376.1130 shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2002, shall be invalid and void.
