SAIKI INSURANCE COMMISSIONER November 25, 2025 MEMORANDUM 2025-12R To: All Admitted and Non-Admitted Insurers Offering Policies in the State of Hawaii From: Scott K. Saiki, Insurance Commissioner Subject: Reorganization of Rate and Policy Analysis Branch The purpose of this memorandum is to inform all insurers that the Insurance Division implemented a reorganization of its Rate and Policy Analysis (“RPA”) Branch. This reorganization restructures the former RPA Branch into two specialized units: Life and Accident & Health (“LAH”) Filings Branch Property and Casualty (“P&C”) Filings Branch The purpose of this change is to better support the Insurance Division’s growing regulatory responsibilities, improve the timeliness and quality of filing reviews, and align the Insurance Division’s structure with best practices. Creating two specialized branches allows staff to focus more deeply on their respective lines of insurance and enhances the Insurance Division’s overall effectiveness.
