WASHINGTON–State insurance legislators and regulators meeting here rejected comments made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson attacking state insurance regulation in the wake of the American International Group credit crisis.

Mr. Paulson made his comments on Meet the Press on Sept. 21 (see story on NU Web site). The remarks were made in the aftermath of a federal investment of 79.9 percent with an $85 billion loan for AIG.

His response was made during the fall meeting of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners here.
