This new act is based on, and is substantially similar to, the model act developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). New Section 27-19-107, Code of Alabama 1975, which becomes effective August 1, 2000, includes the NAIC model provisions requiring the offer of a policy containing nonforfeiture benefits when a long-term care policy is marketed. Subsection (c) of this statute requires the Commissioner to promulgate regulations specifying how the nonforfeiture benefit requirement is to be met. A hearing is scheduled for August 16, 2000, to consider revisions to Alabama Insurance Regulation No. 91. The proposed revisions to this regulation are based on, and are substantially similar to, the model regulation developed by the NAIC. The proposed revisions to Regulation No. 91 includes a new Section 25, which sets forth the nonforfeiture benefit requirements, and proposed new Section 26, which sets the standards for benefit triggers. Both of these sections provide for a one year delayed effective date, as is recommended in the NAIC model regulation. The proposed effective date of the revisions to Regulation No. 91 is January 1, 2001. Therefore, the proposed effective date of new Section 25 and proposed new Section 26, is January 1, 2002. Insurers with long-term care insurance policies previously approved for use in this state may continue to market those policies until the effective date of the revisions to Regulation No. 91 gulation No. 91 is January 1, 2001. Therefore, the proposed effective date of new Section 25 and proposed new Section 26, is January 1, 2002. Insurers with long-term care insurance policies previously approved for use in this state may continue to market those policies until the effective date of the revisions to Regulation No. 91. The provisions relating to nonforfeiture benefits and benefit triggers will not be enforced until January 1, 2002. All other provisions will be enforced beginning January 1, 2001. ## Nearby sections - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 1985-08-30 Unfair Trade Practices (REPLACED by Bulletin No. 2016-04, dated 6/8/2016)](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_UnFairTradePracticesBulletin.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 1998-03-05 Approval of Arbitration Agreements Departmental Guidelines and Requirements](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins1998_Arbitration.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 1998-10-26 Accidental Death Policy Limitation on Payment](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_1998_10_26_AccidentalDeathPolicyLimitationOnPayment.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2000-06-23 Federal Health Insurance Requirements](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_HealthInsurance.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2000-06-28 Rate Manual Filing Requirements](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_RateFiling.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2000-06-30 Address Designations](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_Designations.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2000-07-03 Sales of Unregistered Securities](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_UnregisterSecurities.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2000-07-17 Installment Fee Plan Filing Requirements](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_InstallFee.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2000-07-25 Alabama Long-Term Care Insurance Minimum Standards Act - Revisions to Alabama Insurance Regulation No. 91](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_Regulation91.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2000-09-21 Surcharges for Accidents Caused by Defective Tires](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_Surcharges.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2000-10-06 HIPAA/AHIP: Notice to Employees of Cancellation](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_HIPAA.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2001-03-30 Rate Manual Filing Requirements](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2001_RateManual.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2001-06-29 Mental Health Parity Cost Report](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2001_MentalHealth.md) - [AL Insurance Bulletin issued 2001-07-05 Privacy Compliance Survey](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2001_PrivacyCompliance.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/AL_INS_UB_Bulletins2000_Regulation91.
