NAPSLO officials are voicing strong support for the enactment of federal legislation that would create a national clearinghouse that would serve as a one-stop licensing system for agents and brokers operating outside of their home state.

Leonard, co-chair of NAPSLO's Legislative Committee and chairman of the RSUI Group in Atlanta.
