INSURANCE – Amends existing law to revise provisions of the Idaho Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act.
This bill updates Idaho's insurance guaranty association rules to clarify who receives coverage when insurers fail. It revises eligibility for nonresidents (requiring insurer domicile and similar state associations) and adds specific rules for structured settlement annuities. Coverage now excludes certain reinsurance, self-funded employer plans, and claims based on marketing materials or side agreements. The changes prevent duplicate coverage across states and take effect July 1, 2025.
