Insurance Commission rule relating to advertisement of accident and sickness insurance
SB 291 authorizes West Virginia's Insurance Commission to enforce an existing rule (114 CSR 11) governing how insurance companies advertise accident and sickness insurance policies. The bill formally approves a rule the Commission previously filed in the State Register (July 22, 2025), which sets standards for these advertisements. This procedural measure does not create new requirements but ensures the Commission has legal authority to implement the existing advertising guidelines. It directly affects insurance companies that market accident/sickness coverage in West Virginia.
