Sec. 38a-421. Form filing. (a) A title insurer shall file with the commissioner all
forms it proposes to use in this state, including (1) title insurance policies, including
standard form endorsements and (2) commitments, binders or any other reports issued
prior to the issuance of a title insurance policy. If the commissioner finds in his review
of a filing that it does not violate section 38a-422, he shall approve the form within
thirty days of filing. Prior to such approval, the commissioner may conduct public hearings with respect to the filing. Filings that the commissioner has failed to approve or
disapprove within thirty days of filing shall be deemed approved. Upon notice to the
insurer, the period for review of a form filing may be extended for an additional
thirty days.
(b) A title insurer need not file reinsurance contracts and agreements.
(c) No title insurer may issue, directly or through a title agent, any policy after
October 1, 1990, unless the policy form has been approved pursuant to this section. The
commissioner may provide by regulation for interim use of forms in effect prior to
October 1, 1990.
