B.     Proposal: Amendments to the HJUP Manual

HJUP will present proposed amendments to several rules intended to improve clarity, remove redundancies, and align procedures with current practices.

     

Rule 23 – Premium Development

·         Paragraph B.6.d amended to include a rounding step.

·         Private Passenger Liability Coverage Rating Worksheet reformatted and amended to include rounding steps.

 

  Rule 56 – Age Group

  Rule deleted in its entirety because:

·         The age group table already appears in the Commercial Auto Rate Chapter and now includes for the 5th preceding model year or more.

·         Relevant notes are already included in applicable premium development rules, making this rule redundant. 

·         “Original cost new” language is no longer needed for premium development.

 

  Rule 140 – Motor Homes

·         Paragraphs D.1.a and D.2.a amended to specify the non‑fleet base rate.

 

  The Board may recommend approval to the Commissioner, amend, or defer action on the proposed rule changes.

 

C.     Compliance Audit Proposal:

Proposal to conduct two separate 2027 Compliance Audits:

·         HJUP Hawaii Certified Public Assistance Insureds’ policies.

·         Hawaii Commercial Automobile Insurance Procedures policies.

                 

  Audit Scope

·         Underwriting/Premium Reporting – Testing a sample of new business, endorsements, renewals, and cancellations for compliance with HJUP rules and standard automobile risk underwriting principles.

·         Claims/Paid Loss Reporting/Assigned Claims Scope – Testing a sample of open and closed claim files for support of reported paid losses, case reserve, salvage and subrogation recoveries, claims investigation, accurate reporting of allocated claim expenses and processes to mitigate paid losses.
