HISTORICAL NOTE

An act approved February 15, 1864, required insurance companies to be certified by the territorial auditor and make annual reports to him. Legislation approved February 25, 1873, extended the duties of the Auditor with reference to inspection and investigation of insurance companies and required the assent of the attorney general before a certificate was issued to a company. On March 31, 1899, an act was passed which repealed earlier laws and created a bureau of insurance with the Governor as insurance commissioner and a deputy commissioner for the actual work. That law was declared unconstitutional because it violated the state constitution relating to taxation. In 1903 the Auditor was empowered to appoint an insurance deputy. The Legislature of 1913 repealed existing insurance laws and enacted a complete insurance code. That code provided that the Governor, Auditor and Attorney General should constitute the State Insurance Board and appoint a secretary to be known as an insurance commissioner.

The duties of the Insurance Board were given to a Bureau of Insurance in the Department of Trade and Commerce by the Civil Administrative Code of 1919. The bureau was made the Department of Insurance in 1933. The laws were revised in 1947. Presently the Department of Insurance regulates and examines insurance companies including licensing and examination of agents, foreign insurer admittance; periodic examination of companies; automobile, property and liability rate approval; policy form approval; rating and claims practice investigations; and complaint investigations. The department is divided into ten divisions: Financial Examination, Market Conduct Examination; Legal; Property and Liability; Life and Health Insurance; Agents Licensing; Consumer Affairs; Office Services; Insurance Fraud Prevention; and Medical Professional Liability.

The Fire commission, since 1974 a function of the State Fire Marshal’s office, was created by the Legislature April 3, 1909. Its duties were transferred in 1919 to the Division of Fire Prevention in the Department of Trade and Commerce. In 1933 it became a division of the Department of Insurance. The division of Fire Prevention of the Department of Insurance was funded by fire insurance companies operating in the state, and was responsible for the investigation of fires and inspection of buildings for the prevention of fires.
