Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Robert Wooley has resigned effective Feb. 15 to pursue private sector opportunities, it was announced.
The current chief deputy commissioner, Jim Donelon, will take over as commissioner until a special election is held in the fall, officials said.
Mr. Wooley was first named acting commissioner in October of 2000 following the conviction of his predecessor, Jim Brown, on charges of lying to the FBI. He assumed the full duties of the office in April of 2003, and won election the following November.
