SCS HB 459 -- INSURANCE LIQUIDATION This bill extends to December 31, 2005, the sunset clause on a section of law regarding the liquidation of insurance companies. Portions of this section expired on December 31, 2000. The section allows an estimation of contingent liabilities to be used to fix creditors' claims during the liquidation process. The section also requires a reinsurer's payments to be made directly to the liquidator, except where the contract specifically provides for another payee or where another insurer assumes the ceding insurer's policy obligations. The bill contains an emergency clause.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
