“Tom and the team have done a fantastic job putting together a comprehensive agenda with top-tier speakers and presenters” said AR Sen. Jason Rapert, NCOIL President. “Our continued growth as an organization is in no small measure because of these speakers and agendas that are insightful,

There will be 11 Insurance Departments represented at the Spring Meeting.

“We strive to continually listen to and learn from speakers that can help NCOIL legislators make informed public-policy decisions on a variety of insurance subject matters” said Commissioner Tom Considine, NCOIL CEO. “That, coupled with the timeliness with which NCOIL deals with policy
matters, has led to reinvigorated NCOIL meetings.”

NCOIL is a legislative organization comprised principally of legislators serving on state insurance and financial institutions
committees around the nation. NCOIL writes Model Laws in insurance, works to both preserve the state jurisdiction over
insurance as established by the McCarran-Ferguson Act seventy years ago and to serve as an educational forum for public
policy makers and interested parties. Founded in 1969, NCOIL works to assert the prerogative of legislators in making
state policy when it comes to insurance and educate state legislators on current and perennial insurance issues.
