WSR 13-15-165 PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY OFFICE OF INSURANCE COMMISSIONER [Insurance Commissioner Matter No. R 2013-16—Filed July 24, 2013, 7:57 a.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Long-term care prompt payment requirements.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: RCW 48.83.170(3), enacted during the 2013 legislative session, requires the commissioner to adopt by rule prompt payment requirements for long-term care insurance.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
Process for Developing New Rule: Submit written comments by September 2, 2013, to Kacy Scott, rulescoordinator@oic.wa.gov, fax (360) 586-3109.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Kacy Scott, P.O. Box 40258, Olympia, WA 98504-0258, rulescoordinator@oic.wa.gov.
