Industry Regulation<\/h4>\n

A major form of self-regulation, the National Association of State Commissioners (NAIC)<\/a>, is widely recognized as a major influence in the insurance industry.\u00a0 NAIC is not a federal or state legislative body, nor does it regulate insurance law, even though its members are the insurance commissioners (i.e., the chief insurance regulators) of each state in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1871, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners was created as a non-governmental organization that has since created and maintained a uniform set of laws for states to follow in an attempt to standardize multiple-state insurance laws.\u00a0 Though it has created a set of ‘by-laws’ to help centralize the state-run insurance industry, NAIC, itself, does not actually regulate insurance law.\u00a0 The states regulate their respective insurance laws as well as abide by any relevant federal laws.<\/p>\n

The NAIC is composed of insurance commissioners from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and surrounding U.S. territories.\u00a0 These members are either elected to their post, or appointed by their states’ governor and are represented by an executive committee comprised of the President, President-Elect, Vice President and Secretary-Treasurer of the NAIC.\u00a0 These governing members are elected on an annual basis by NAIC members.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Executive Committee, the NAIC is composed of seven additional committees including:<\/p>\n

Life Insurance and Annuities<\/p>\n

Health Insurance and Managed Care<\/p>\n

Property and Casualty Insurance<\/p>\n

Market Regulation and Consumer Affairs<\/p>\n

Financial Regulation Standards and Accreditation<\/p>\n

Financial Condition Committee<\/p>\n

International Insurance Relations Committee.<\/p>\n

NAIC\u2019s ‘by-laws’ promote uniformity throughout the insurance industry and enable insurance companies to better comply with the laws and regulations set forth in all states in which they conduct insurance business.\u00a0 The association has influenced the industry by introducing uniform regulation including:<\/p>\n

Model Life Insurance Solicitation regulation<\/p>\n

Viatical Settlement Model regulation<\/p>\n

Model Life Insurance Replacement regulation<\/p>\n

Model Group Life Insurance\u00a0 provisions<\/p>\n

Model Health Policy provisions<\/p>\n

Long-term Care Insurance Model regulation<\/p>\n
