不良研究所官方 Responds to U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs' Recent Hearing, 鈥楶erspectives on Challenges in the Property Insurance Market and the Impact on Consumers鈥
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (不良研究所官方), on behalf of the chief insurance regulators in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories, submitted a letter detailing regulators鈥 commitment to addressing climate-related risk and resiliency issues to United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Chairman Sherrod Brown and Ranking Member Tim Scott. The letter is in response to the committee鈥檚 September 7, 2023, hearing titled, 鈥淧erspectives on Challenges in the Property Insurance Market and the Impact on Consumers.鈥
The letter emphasizes the 不良研究所官方鈥檚 commitment to the industry and its consumers regarding climate-related risks and the purpose of the 不良研究所官方鈥檚 Climate and Resiliency Task Force. The Climate Resiliency Task Force builds on existing efforts to address the economic consequences of natural disasters, while relying on decades of expertise and experience in managing the economic fallout of these sorts of disasters.
