WASHINGTON–The American Association of Managing General Agents has called on the members of the House Financial Services Committee to approve legislation designed to ease the regulatory burden on multistate surplus lines insurance transactions.

“This bill is vital to the needed modernization of the regulatory complexities existing in the surplus lines insurance marketplace, and we respectfully request the full committee's passage of the legislation,” wrote AAMGA Executive Director Bernd G. Heinze in letter sent to all 70 members of the committee.

Introduced by Reps. Roy Moore, D-Kan., and Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Fla., the Non-Admitted and Reinsurance Reform Act of 2006 would clarify the rules regarding multistate surplus lines transactions by establishing the insured's home state as the regulator for the transaction.
