Bill	Market Conduct Examinations Insurance Companies	Under current law, the commissioner of insurance (commissioner) is authorized to conduct financial examinations and market conduct examinations of companies engaged in the insurance business in Colorado. Financial examinations, which the commissioner conducts on every company domiciled in Colorado once every 5 years, are intended to ensure that regulated insurance companies have proper corporate governance and internal controls and are able to pay claims. Market conduct examinations are intended to ensure that regulated insurance companies are complying with applicable laws and rules and that policyholders, providers, and beneficiaries are treated equitably. Statutes pertaining to both financial examinations and market conduct examinations are intertwined and, in some cases, overlap and conflict.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2017A	HB 17-1231	Colorado HB 17-1231 (2017A)	bill		enacted	Jack Tate Jeni Arndt Jim Smallwood Polly Lawrence	14	15	6	2017-03-06T07:00:00+00:00	2017-06-01T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/40ade45f-2569-4871-aef3-c04fee646d23	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb17-1231	46402f4cbcd3b9281eca9ca15a263c4821f21d979f68318af2b91e8cd021ae27	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
