One-on-one interviews with 15 insurance regulators

At a recent meeting of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, Insurance Journal sat down with 15 insurance regulators to talk about issues affecting their state insurance markets, as well as industry-wide concerns. Regulators addressed their viewpoints on issues ranging from agency compensation and disclosure, to federal terrorism insurance and even a possible national catastrophe plan. Several shared their views on the independent agency system, and even whether or not they believed a state-appointed or elected insurance regulator was best for the insurance industry.

Part 1 of this two part series, interviewed regulators from Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Texas and West Virginia.

Insurance Journal’s exclusive “Commissioner’s Series, Part 1” interviews will be released online and in print over the coming weeks. To view the complete, unedited video interviews visit Insurance Journal’s Web site at www.insurancejournal.com and go to the video features section.
