                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Department of Insurance (INS) officials assume this proposal would not
significantly fiscally impact their agency.  INS further states that the
passage of more than one similar proposal could require the INS to request
increased appropriations to cover cumulative administrative costs.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business


Small businesses would be expected to be fiscally impacted to the extent of
reduced costs from the Guarantee Fund assessments due to the requirements of
this proposal.


DESCRIPTION

This proposal would limit an exemption from insurance regulation for
insurance provided to nonprofit educational, religious or charitable
institutions.  These insurance contracts would only be exempted if they are
not subject to guarantee fund assessments in the state of domicile.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
