 Financial Services Subcommittee Examines Proposals on Insurance Regulatory Reform

Washington, DC—Congressman Paul E. Kanjorski (D-PA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government Sponsored Enterprises, today announced that the Subcommittee will hold its third in a series of hearings on insurance regulatory reform on Wednesday, April 16 at 2:00 p.m.  This hearing will examine a variety of proposals to address insurance regulatory reform. 

“Our previous two hearings considered the need for insurance regulatory reform,” said Chairman Kanjorski.  “At this upcoming hearing, witnesses will discuss a variety of state and federal proposals on reform.  We will hear from two panels comprised of government and private witnesses respectively.  It is my belief that Congress should take action on insurance regulation, and I look forward to hearing the recommendations of our witnesses.”

“This hearing provides an important opportunity for Congress to review various proposals to improve regulatory efficiency and help make insurance more affordable for consumers and policyholders,” said Congresswoman Pryce (R-OH), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee.  “In particular, I look forward to hearing about efforts to improve consumer protections by addressing any unscrupulous practices in the marketplace.”
