Reviewer notes

Re-fetched twice on 2026-08-31, once for the narrative sentences and once specifically for the State Digest entries. All claims above came back in the page text. Important limitation carried into the prose: the State Digest lists New York under the 1953 Definition, while the New York Department of Financial Services circular letter in this bundle describes New York as having adopted the 1976 NAIC definition with exceptions. This bundle does not resolve that conflict and does not use the State Digest as the last word on any state's current law.
