Insurance; registration of insurers; report; Liquidity Stress Test; confidential documents; information; trade secrets; effective date.

HB 1497 amends Oklahoma's insurance regulations to clarify which entities must undergo liquidity stress tests and submit confidential reports to the state. The bill removes references to affiliates and subsidiaries from the list of companies required to participate in these financial assessments, narrowing the scope to the primary insurance entities themselves. This change affects insurance companies operating in Oklahoma by simplifying the compliance requirements for stress testing and information reporting. The legislation became effective law without the governor's signature on May 19, 2025.
