The Liability Risk Retention Act (LRRA), celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, has brought about many changes in liability insurance since its enactment, including the establishment of risk-retention groups (RRGs) and risk-purchasing groups (RPGs) as effective alternative risk-transfer vehicles.

By the end of 2010, 251 RRGs and 808 RPGs were operating. While both entities operate in all 50 states and D.C., there are only a handful of states that are favored as domiciles for RRGs and RPGs.
