NCOIL APPLAUDS HOUSE BIPARTISAN PASSAGE OF H.R. 4357, URGES SWIFT
SENATE PASSAGE
Provides Greater Oversight and Transparency on International Insurance Standards
Manasquan, NJ – NCOIL CEO Commissioner Tom Considine applauded passage of H.R. 4537 by the full House of Representatives and urged the Senate to do the same and send the legislation to the President.
“NCOIL believes this legislation is necessary to provide greater oversight and transparency on international insurance standards and preserve the state-based system of insurance regulation that has thrived for nearly seventy-five years. NCOIL legislators shared their support of this legislation while we visited with our federal counterparts in June. The Senate needs to swiftly pass this legislation and send it to the President.”
Earlier this year, for the third time in as many years, NCOIL legislators participated in a DC Educational Fly-In with Members of Congress and their staff to protect the state-based system of insurance regulation.
