Asking their federal legislators to preserve the McCarran-Ferguson Act will be the top priority of those making the annual lobbying pilgrimage here at month's end as part of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America legislative conference.
More than 1,200 agents from across the country are expected to gather from April 25-27 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C., to lobby federal legislators on issues of importance to the producers and the overall insurance market.
“Our number-one issue this year will be our strong opposition to the legislation repealing the limited McCarran-Ferguson antitrust exemption,” said Charles E. Symington Jr., IIABA's senior vice president of government affairs and federal relations. “With the introduction of a new version of the legislation earlier this year, this issue has now been placed at the top of our lobbying list.”
