Feds to Regulate Insurance Industry?
The Treasury Department’s Blueprint for Regulatory
Reform, released at the end of March, includes a call for an optional
federal charter that would allow the insurance industry to be regulated
at the federal level.
The industry is currently regulated at the state level, but under the
proposal unveiled by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, companies would
have the right to choose whether they would be regulated by the federal
government or continue to be regulated by the states. Click here
for more information on the proposal.
