**As a result of the late nature of the enactment of the federal Juneteenth Holiday it is not practical to adjust schedules for tomorrow; therefore, please note that as is the case with many government and government-affiliated institutions, there will be no change to planned NCOIL operations Friday, June 18, 2021. Going forward, Juneteenth will be incorporated into NCOIL’s operations schedule and policies.**
New York Senator Neil Breslin has called an interim Zoom meeting of the NCOIL Special Committee on Race in Insurance Underwriting on Friday, June 18th from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (EDT).
The purpose of the interim meeting is for the Committee to further discuss whether unfair discrimination exists in certain insurance underwriting factors - specifically zip code, education, and occupation, both as separate factors and in combination. The Committee will also discuss its plans for its next meeting during the NCOIL Summer National Meeting in July.
NCOIL invites suggestions for speakers for the June 18th meeting, who are prepared to present evidence regarding the value of these factors, or any of them, or their use in combination, or alternatively whether and how these factors or combination result in unfair discrimination. Please submit any suggestions along with any questions or comments to NCOIL General Counsel Will Melofchik at [email protected].
This meeting will be conducted via Zoom. Meeting ID and Password information will be provided to you via-mail upon registering.
