Insurance Amendment Act Regulations - Public Consultation, July 2 - October 1, 2009

The Insurance Amendment Act, 2008, dealing with the legislative provisions related to the various types of insurance contracts, was passed by the Alberta Legislature in the fall of 2008.

Prior to bringing into force the sections of the Insurance Amendment Act, 2008 that have not yet been proclaimed, several existing regulations need to be revised.  In addition, many sections of the Insurance Amendment Act, 2008 provide for new regulation making-authorities.  We want your input on whether or not the following proposals will help to maintain the balance between improving consumer protections, transparency and fairness, with a regulatory climate that supports Alberta’s economy.

The consultation period has now ended. We thank all respondents for their feedback on the consultation paper. All written submissions will be posted on the website at a later date. Please contact the Office of the Superintendent of Insurance with any questions or comments:  Toll free by dialing 310-0000 then 780-427-8322, or by e-mail at Insurance@gov.ab.ca.
