Minnesota Administrative Rules

2720.1100 FORMS.

The forms described in parts 2720.9910 to 2720.9940 are intended to be guides in the preparation of the statements required by Minnesota Statutes, chapter 60D, and are not intended to be blank forms to be filled in. The statements filed shall contain the numbers and captions of all items, but the text of the items may be omitted provided the answers thereto are prepared in such a manner as to indicate to the reader the scope and coverage of the items without the necessity of referring to the text of the items or the instructions thereto. All instructions, whether appearing under the items of the form or elsewhere thereon, are to be omitted. Unless expressly provided otherwise, if any item is inapplicable or the answer thereto is in the negative, an appropriate statement to that effect shall be made.

Two complete copies of each form or statement, including exhibits and all other papers and documents filed as a part of the form or the statement, shall be filed with the commissioner by personal delivery or mail addressed to the Commissioner of Commerce. A copy of form C, part 2720.9930, shall be filed in each state in which an insurer is authorized to do business if the commissioner of that state has notified the insurer of its request in writing, in which case, the insurer has 30 days from receipt of the notice to file the form. At least one of the copies shall be manually signed in the manner prescribed on the form. Unsigned copies shall be conformed. If the signature of any person is affixed pursuant to a power of attorney or other similar authority, a copy of such power of attorney or other authority shall be filed with the statement.

Statements should be prepared on paper 8-1/2 inches by 11 inches in size and preferably bound at the top or the top left-hand corner. Exhibits and financial statements, unless specifically prepared for the filing, may be submitted in their original size. All copies of any statement, financial statements, or exhibits shall be clear, easily readable, and suitable for photocopying. Debits in credit categories and credits in debit categories shall be designated so as to be clearly distinguishable as such on photocopies. Statements shall be in the English language and monetary values shall be stated in United States currency. If any exhibit or other paper or document filed with the statement is in a foreign language, it shall be accompanied by a translation into the English language, and any monetary value normally shown in a foreign currency shall be converted into United States currency.
