The NAIC proposal also includes IRI-recommended language to provide a safe harbor for all insurance producers who are subject to, and actually comply with, comparable or greater standards such as requirements for those who already comply with rigorous standards.
IRI said that it expects many states will be eager to adopt the new annuity model.
