§ 17B:25-34 — Findings, declarations relative to certain annuity products.

1. The Legislature finds and declares that it is a valid public purpose to set forth standards and procedures regarding annuity products directly solicited to consumers to: prevent the fraudulent and misleading marketing of annuity products by insurers, brokers, and agents; provide standards for the disclosure of information about annuity products so that consumers understand the basic features of these products; ensure that annuity products ultimately issued to consumers are suitable to appropriately address their insurance needs and financial objectives; and enhance oversight over annuity products, including enforcement against violations, through the Department of Banking and Insurance.
