HB 1160 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Insurance; Oklahoma Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association; powers and duties; joining organizations; records; effective date.

HB 1160 amends Oklahoma's Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association Act to clarify how the Association handles claims when insurers become insolvent. It defines "covered claims" (including property damage claims in Oklahoma or resident policyholders), specifies exclusions (like punitive damages or reinsurance), and allows the Association to join certain organizations. The bill also clarifies that Association records are not public and modifies the Association's powers and duties under Sections 2002, 2003, and 2004 of the Oklahoma Insurance Code. This law, enacted without the Governor's signature on May 28, 2025, directly affects Oklahoma property/casualty insurance policyholders whose insurer fails.
