ID| The August 22, 2025 bulletin from the Surplus Line Association of Idaho provides updates on the state’s Export List and announces a new broker portal launch. Key changes include the addition of specific insurance classes, such as older hotel/motel properties, apartments/condo associations, and cyber liability, to Idaho’s Export List, enabling surplus lines placement for these risks. Additionally, the current InsCipher Submission Portal for premium transactions will be replaced by a new Idaho Surplus Line Broker Portal launching on October 1, 2025, which aims to offer improved functionality, streamlined processes, and enhanced user support for brokers.
Key Points:
- Certain classes (e.g., older hotel/motel, habitational, cyber liability) were added to Idaho’s Export List, effective by regulatory order after a July public hearing with no objections.
- Idaho will launch a new Surplus Line Broker Portal on October 1, 2025, replacing InsCipher, and is preparing brokers for the transition with resources and account setup instructions.
