HB 168

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.

Synopsis

This bill would allow insurance companies to invest in real estate through long-term leaseholds. In the United Kingdom, Europe, and other international places real estate is held not in fee simple (like the US) but in long-term land leases. This statutory change would allow companies domesticated in Delaware to invest in the real estate market in those places. Delaware would not be the first state to make this change.
