Capital Corner
By Will Melofchik – NCOIL General Counsel
Greetings – Welcome to the latest installment of Capital Corner, a column that aims to update you on some of the issues that NCOIL is following. Below are some of the issues that NCOIL may be discussing at the upcoming NCOIL Annual Meeting and will be monitoring throughout the remainder of the year.
With the conclusion of our Annual Meeting earlier this month in Columbus, NCOIL capped off another extremely productive year. Throughout the year, NCOIL adopted four new Model Laws while amending and re-adopting over a dozen other existing Model Laws. The organization also adopted several Resolutions on important and timely insurance issues.
During the course of Representative Ferguson’s NCOIL presidency, she frequently highlighted how the legislative membership at NCOIL has increased in terms of both bipartisanship and being more representative of America. The same can be said for NCOIL’s Meeting agendas. When taking a look at the issues discussed throughout the past year, it really is striking how much they vary in both tone and substance. Issues discussed ranged from:
- different types of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policy
- improving natural disaster resiliency efforts
- whether gun owners should be required to carry liability insurance
- the failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank
- preventing catalytic converter theft
- third party litigation financing
