Equitable Life Policyholders (Compensation) Bill

This bill provides financial compensation to policyholders of Equitable Life, a mutual insurance company that collapsed in 2000, leaving many customers with severe losses on their pension and investment policies. The legislation establishes a formal compensation scheme to reimburse affected policyholders for losses incurred due to the company's mismanagement and regulatory failures. The bill determines eligibility criteria, calculates compensation amounts based on policy losses, and creates a mechanism for distributing funds to thousands of individuals who suffered financial harm.
