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.
