Settlement firms balked at disclosing certain information
By Trevor Thomas
The California Department of Insurance (CDI) has revised its proposed emergency regulations regulating life settlement providers in the state to make them less onerous to life settlement industry.
Among other changes, the revised rules state that audited financial statements submitted by life settlement providers to the CDI shall be held in confidence. The earlier version of the rules would have opened that information to scrutiny by the public, a fact that members of the settlement industry objected to.
