,Q1. A Connecticut-domiciled risk retention group (RRG) plans to write liability
coverage for members in all states. Which of the following best describes the extent to
which Connecticut may regulate the RRG's operations in other states?
A. Connecticut may apply its full insurance code to the RRG's out-of-state activities,
including rate and form approval.
B. Connecticut is the sole regulator for solvency and operations, while other states may
require registration and payment of taxes.
C. Other states may regulate the RRG's rates and forms under their own laws, but
Connecticut retains exclusive solvency oversight.
D. The RRG must comply with the insurance laws of each state where it operates, with
Connecticut having no special authority.
Correct Answer: B. Connecticut is the sole regulator for solvency and operations,
while other states may require registration and payment of taxes.
Rationale: Under the federal Liability Risk Retention Act (LRRA), an RRG is domiciled in
one state (here, Connecticut) and that state has primary regulatory authority over its
solvency and operations. Other states may require registration and levy taxes, but they
cannot regulate the RRG's rates, forms, or solvency. Thus, option B is correct.
Why Wrong:
A - This is incorrect because the LRRA preempts other states' regulation of rates,
forms, and solvency, leaving only Connecticut's oversight.
C - This is incorrect because other states cannot regulate rates or forms; they only
have limited registration and tax authority.
D - This is incorrect because the LRRA preempts state insurance laws that would
subject an RRG to full regulation in each state.
Reference: 15 U.S.C. § 3901 et seq.; Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-90
Q2. Under Connecticut law, which of the following entities is eligible to form a risk
retention group?
A. A trade association whose members are all engaged in the same business or
profession and share similar liability risks.
B. An insurance company licensed in Connecticut that wishes to convert to an RRG to
avoid rate regulation.
C. A group of individuals who collectively own property and seek to insure their
personal liability exposures.
D. A corporation formed for the sole purpose of providing liability insurance to the
general public.
Correct Answer: A. A trade association whose members are all engaged in the same
business or profession and share similar liability risks.
Page 3
, Rationale: Connecticut statutes mirror the federal LRRA, requiring RRGs to be owned by
members who are engaged in similar businesses or professions and have similar liability
exposures. This ensures the group is homogeneous in risk. Trade associations qualify if
their members meet this criterion.
Why Wrong:
B - An insurance company converting to an RRG does not meet the ownership and
membership requirements; RRGs must be owned by insureds.
C - Personal liability risks are not covered under the LRRA, which applies only to
commercial liability risks.
D - An RRG cannot offer insurance to the general public; it must be limited to its
members.
Reference: Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-90; 15 U.S.C. § 3901(a)(4)
Q3. A Connecticut RRG intends to purchase reinsurance from an unauthorized
reinsurer. Under Connecticut insurance regulations, what is the primary consequence
of failing to obtain credit for reinsurance?
A. The RRG may not count the reinsurance as an asset or as a reduction from liability
on its financial statements.
B. The RRG will be subject to a fine but may still take credit if the reinsurer is rated A-
or better.
C. The RRG must obtain a letter of credit from a Connecticut bank to take credit,
regardless of the reinsurer's rating.
D. The RRG is prohibited from purchasing reinsurance from any unauthorized
reinsurer under any circumstances.
Correct Answer: A. The RRG may not count the reinsurance as an asset or as a
reduction from liability on its financial statements.
Rationale: Connecticut insurance law follows the NAIC model, allowing credit for
reinsurance only if the reinsurer is authorized or meets specific collateral requirements. If
unauthorized and no collateral is posted, the RRG cannot take credit, meaning the risk
remains on its books. This affects solvency calculations.
Why Wrong:
B - A fine is not the primary consequence; the main issue is the financial statement
treatment.
C - A letter of credit is one method, but not the only one; however, the statement
about being required is too absolute.
D - Purchasing reinsurance from unauthorized reinsurers is not absolutely prohibited;
it is allowed but without credit unless conditions are met.
