PIA's Roadmap to State Regulatory Modernization

June 3, 2008

A special edition of PIA Connection has been published that details "PIA's Roadmap to State Regulatory Modernization."

"While it is critical that we speak out against proposals that would be bad for PIA members, it is also important that PIA work to bring about positive change as we see it," said PIA National President Robert Page, writing in his monthly letter in the magazine. "The first step is defining the positive changes we want and presenting a path to achieve them. This special issue of PIA Connection is devoted exclusively to PIA's Roadmap to State Regulatory Modernization."
 
"For the better part of the past year, PIA National's member policy committees have engaged in an ongoing review of the various reform proposals and approaches," Page said. "They have also reviewed current established PIA policy, to assess how much of our PIA plan has already been accomplished by the hard work of PIA states and members, and then determine our association's ongoing strategy. As part of this process, our committees have developed and approved PIA's own blueprint for reform, which is what you see detailed in this issue of our magazine."

The PIA Roadmap to State Regulatory Modernization:

  • Preserves the state-based structure of insurance oversight.
  • Achieves insurance regulatory modernization.
  • Protects the integrity and standing of state insurance law.
  • Ensures competitive equity for all marketplace participants in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
