Financial Regulatory Reform Increases Federal Involvement in Insurance, Financial Services Reform Alert, by Diane E. Ambler, András P. Teleki, Collins R. Clark. July 13, 2010.
Two provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (H.R. 4173) specifically target the insurance industry and are intended to promote a higher level of uniformity in the U.S. insurance industry regulatory landscape. First, the Federal Insurance Office Act of 2010 (“FIO Act”) creates a new Federal Insurance Office (“FIO”) within the Department of the Treasury and signals the beginning of a new era of federal involvement, at least at the macro level, in the U.S. insurance industry. Significantly, the FIO Act does not include a federal insurance charter provision, long sought by many in the insurance industry, and the states will remain the primary insurance regulatory authority. Second, the Nonadmitted and Reinsurance Reform Act of 2010 (“NRRA”) changes how authority over some forms of insurance is allocated among the states.
