Explanation of the OCI's authority to promulgate the proposed rule under these statutes:
The proposed rule modifies the current restriction on issuance of mortgage guaranty insurance to or for the benefit of affiliates, and is authorized as governing an unfair trade practice under s.
628.34 (12), Wis. Stats., and as addressing financial risk to the insurer governed by statutes allowing the commissioner to establish standards and reporting requirements, including ss. under 601.42, 611.19 (1), 618.21, 623.02, 623.04, 623.11, 627.05, and for affiliate transactions under ch.
617, Stats.
Related Statutes or rules
None
The plain language analysis and summary of the proposed rule
Under current rules a mortgage guaranty insurer may not directly or indirectly issue coverage for mortgages originated by an affiliate, unless the insurer is no more than 50% owned or controlled by the affiliate. The proposed rule would permit the insurer to issue coverage for mortgages originated by the affiliate but only subject to the same underwriting standards as are applied to non-affiliates. The proposed rule requires the insurer to annually file an officer's certification of compliance.
Summary of and preliminary comparison with any existing or proposed federal regulation that is intended to address the activities to be regulated by the proposed rule
None
Comparison of similar rules in adjacent states as found by OCI
Iowa: None
Illinois: Section 50 ILAC 202.60 (e) of Illinois insurance regulations prohibits a mortgage insurer from covering loans originated by a lender if the lender or its affiliate owns an equity interest in the mortgage insurer.
Minnesota: None
Michigan: None
A summary of the factual data and analytical methodologies that OCI used in support of the proposed rule and how any related findings support the regulatory approach chosen for the proposed rule
The proposed rule is based on the experience of the Office regulating and examining mortgage guaranty insurers, and the expertise of the financial analysts and examiners responsible for their regulation, including the application of the existing exception in s.
Ins 3.09 (19) (c), Wis. Adm. Code.
Any analysis and supporting documentation that OCI used in support of OCI's determination of the rule's effect on small businesses under s.
227.114:
The Office reviewed the annual financial reports of licensed mortgage guaranty insurers. There are no such insurers that are small businesses.
If these changes may have a significant fiscal effect on the private sector, the anticipated costs that will be incurred by private sector in complying with the rule:
There is no significant fiscal effect on the private sector. The proposed rule will establish an exception from an existing prohibition. The limited reporting requirement included will not impose any significant cost beyond the existing reporting requirements.
A description of the Effect on Small Business:
This rule will have no effect on small businesses.
