BILL NUMBER:S7310 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to admitted assets for annuity risk where a single premium annuity contract has been purchased PURPOSE: To allow charities that issue charitable gift annuities (CGAs) to reduce the amount of required reserves by purchasing an annuity contract from a New York admitted insurer. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends section 1110(b) of the insurance law to specifically provide that CGA reserves may be reduced with the purchase of a single premium life annuity contract from a life insurance company authorized to do business in New York State. JUSTIFICATION: This legislation amends the insurance law to allow charities that issue charitable gift annuities to reduce the amount of required reserves by purchasing an annuity contract from a New York admitted insurer. This change would encourage CGA issuers to include commercial annuities among the available tools for risk management. Enabling prudent management of CGA risk benefits New York charities that incur obligations to their donors with CGAs.
