The goal is to put the changes into legislation by early fall so that the changes can be reviewed and discussed in 2012.

Legislative deadlines require any legislation to pass the Senate by the end of January. Legislation could then be considered in the Assembly. Much of the work on other insurance legislation is well-advanced, allowing the Committee to now focus on the Holding Company Act.
A major proposed change includes the definition of Enterprise Risk and the annual reporting of enterprise risk. Other changes include provisions on corporate governance, the authorization of a Supervisory College for regulators, and new filing requirements for a divestiture of a controlling interest prior to cessation of control.
