This bill amends R.S. 22:1981(D) to update the guidelines used for examinations authorized by the commissioner of insurance in Louisiana. The key change is the addition of the "Market Regulation Handbook" to the existing "Examiners' Handbook" as the reference materials that examiners must observe when conducting examinations. This aims to enhance the regulatory framework and ensure that examiners are following comprehensive and up-to-date guidelines.

The bill maintains the authority of the commissioner to appoint examiners and instruct them on the scope of examinations while allowing for the use of additional guidelines or procedures deemed appropriate by the commissioner. This legislative update reflects a commitment to improving the oversight of insurers and producers in the state, ensuring that examinations are thorough and aligned with national standards.
