OK| The Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner issued Bulletin No. 2026-02 notifying all persons and organizations subject to the Insurance Commissioner’s jurisdiction of the 2026 administrative rule changes adopted under House Joint Resolution 1091, effective July 25, 2026. The bulletin provides a high-level overview only — not the full rule text — and directs filers to the Oklahoma Secretary of State Administrative Rules webpage for complete language. Changes span three areas: property and casualty cancellation/non-renewal notice periods, holding company and redomestication filing requirements for other licensees, and HMO filing requirements, with several appendices revoked in favor of forms and instructions now published on the Department’s website.
Key Items:
- Property & Casualty (Chapter 15): Insurers must now give at least sixty (60) days’ notice before cancellation or non-renewal of a homeowners or other personal residential policy. For cancellations or non-renewals based on the reasons listed in 36 O.S. § 3639.1(A), the notice periods are ten (10) days for cancellation and thirty (30) days for non-renewal. Amended rule: OAC 365:15-1-14(b) and (d).
- Other Licensees (Chapter 25): Outdated long-term care insurance program provisions were removed (including revocation of OAC 365:25-3-1.4 producer training requirements), and redomestication and insurance holding company filing requirements were modernized. Appendices containing Form R and Forms A–F are revoked and replaced by templates and filing instructions on the Department’s website; the amendments also address electronic filings and signatures, clarify Form A procedures, and add requirements for affiliated management, service, and cost-sharing agreements filed under Form D. Underlying statutory filing obligations are unchanged, and separate implementation guidance on Forms A–F will follow in another bulletin.
- HMOs (Chapter 40): HMO filing requirements were modernized, with Appendices A through G revoked and HMO Forms A and B (and related templates/instructions) moved to the Department’s website. Obsolete Prompt Pay forms were removed from the appendices, though this does not eliminate any Prompt Pay requirements established by statute or rule.
