Take notice that the Department of Banking and Insurance, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 17:22-6.43 and N.J.A.C. 11:1-34, will hold its annual public hearing on the Exportable List. N.J.S.A. 17:22-6.43 provides that the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance may declare eligible for export any class or classes of insurance coverage or risk for which, after a hearing, he determines that there exists no reasonable or adequate market among authorized carriers in New Jersey. The hearing shall address any additions or deletions to the Department's Exportable List. Persons who wish to add or delete items from the current Exportable List should present sufficient evidence that the conditions of procurability have changed.
