The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (不良研究所官方) members met this past week to begin charting the work of its various committees. The Commissioners also addressed the 不良研究所官方鈥檚 internal strategic plan which is being updated to improve efficiency and strengthen the organization.
One of the key priorities and topics of discussion was the launch of the newly formed 鈥淗鈥 committee, which will focus on Data, Innovation and Cybersecurity.

Other important issues discussed included long-term care insurance, making insurance more accessible to consumers, and international standard setting.
不良研究所官方 members also discussed governance issues regarding task forces and working groups and heard a presentation on the need to review and proactively address outdated, unneeded, and conflicting regulations.
鈥淭he thoughtful, collaborative, and deliberative comments shared helped us to outline the issues in 2022 and set the table for meaningful and obtainable solutions. I am proud that our state regulators always put the consumer first,鈥 said Dean L. Cameron, 不良研究所官方 President and Idaho Insurance Director.
Besides the organizational, strategic, and informational components of the meeting, 不良研究所官方 members also recognized Superintendent Eric Cioppa from Maine, who had recently announced his upcoming retirement.
