The Director of the Department of Insurance has scheduled a public hearing as required by NEB. REV. STAT. §§ 84-901 through 84-909 for the proposed amendment of Title 210, Nebraska Administrative Code, Chapter 55 – Rule to Define Standards and Director’s Authority for Companies Deemed to be in Hazardous Financial Condition.
The proposed amendment supplements various statutory provisions of the Nebraska Insurance Code codified in Chapter 44 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes.
