NCOIL Concludes Successful Spring Meeting in San Diego
Belmar, NJ – The National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) concluded a highly successful 2023 Spring National Meeting (Meeting) from March 9th -12th in San Diego. In what was the first of the organization’s three National Meetings in 2023, there were 317 participants consisting of 53 legislators from 23 states, 19 first-time legislators, 9 Insurance Commissioners (or equivalent), and 12 total insurance departments represented.
NCOIL’s policy Committees met and held discussions on a wide variety of emerging topics and important issues currently impacting the insurance and financial services marketplaces. The packed agenda featured topics such as: insurance underwriting transparency; insurance requirements for biomarker testing; different types of environmental, social and governance (ESG) policy; insurance issues related to catalytic converter theft; hospital price transparency, and more.
“In my first meeting as NCOIL President, I was thrilled to see the policy committees have such productive meetings and lay the groundwork for what is shaping up to be a very busy 2023,” said Arkansas Representative Deborah Ferguson, DDS. “The policy focused discussions we had on a slate of emerging issues proves that NCOIL continues to be on the cutting edge of insurance public policy. Additionally, the strong legislator turnout ensured that these discussions included a broad spectrum of perspectives and backgrounds.”
NCOIL CEO Commissioner Tom Considine said, “The attendance in San Diego underscores why now is a better time than ever to be involved in NCOIL. We had the strongest legislator attendance for a Spring Meeting ever with a near perfect split of 50% Republicans and 50% Democrats which really highlights NCOIL’s ongoing commitment to bipartisanship.”
