(A) The purpose of this article is to provide the requirements for maintaining a risk management framework and completing an Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) and provide guidance and instructions for filing an ORSA Summary Report with the insurance director of this State. (B) The requirements of this article apply to all insurers domiciled in this State unless exempt pursuant to Section 38-13-860. (C) The General Assembly finds and declares that an ORSA Summary Report contains confidential and sensitive information related to an insurer or insurance group's identification of risks material and relevant to the insurer or insurance group filing the report. This information includes proprietary and trade secret information that has the potential for harm and competitive disadvantage to the insurer or insurance group if the information is made public. It is the intent of the General Assembly that: (1) an ORSA Summary Report, including all documents, materials, or other information related to its preparation, is a confidential document filed with the director and only may be shared as stated in this article; (2) an ORSA Summary Report will be used to assist the director in the performance of his duties; and (3) in no event may an ORSA Summary Report and its accompanying documents be subject to public disclosure. (D) Nothing in this section prohibits an order from a court of competent jurisdiction requiring an insurance company that is subject to this article to produce an ORSA Summary Report.
