Wis. Admin. Code Office of the Commissioner of Insurance Ins 6.02 - Company to transact a kind of insurance 2 years before admission
(1) Experience has
demonstrated that until a company has engaged in a kind of insurance or in
another kind of insurance of the same class for at least 2 years, there is not
a sufficient basis upon which to form a judgment as to whether its methods and
practices in the conduct of its business in such kind of insurance or another
kind in the same class of insurance, are such as to safeguard the interests of
its policyholders and the people of this state. Therefore, no application of a
foreign insurance company or mutual benefit society for a license to transact a
kind of insurance business in Wisconsin will be considered until it has
continuously transacted that kind of insurance, or another kind of insurance in
the same class of insurance as that for which it makes such application for at
least 2 years immediately prior to making such application. For the purposes
hereof, insurance is divided into kinds of insurance according to the
provisions of s.
Ins 6.75, each subsection setting forth a separate kind,
and into classes of insurance upon the basis of and including the said kinds as
follows:
(a) Fire insurance includes the
kinds in s.
Ins 6.75(2)
(a).
(b) Life insurance includes the kinds in s.
Ins 6.75(1) (a) and
(b) but excluding all insurance on the health
of persons other than that authorized in s.
627.06,
Stats., and s.
Ins 6.70.
(c)
Casualty insurance includes the kinds in s.
Ins 6.75(2) (c)
through (n).
(2) Provided, however, that nothing herein
shall preclude consideration of an application to transact the kind of
insurance in s.
Ins 6.75(1) (c) or
(2) (c) if the applicant company has
transacted any of the kinds of insurance in s.
Ins 6.75(1) (a) and
(b) or (2) (d), (e), (k) and (n) continuously
for 2 years immediately prior to the making of application for license to
transact the kind of insurance in s.
Ins 6.75(1) (c) or
(2) (c).
