An official of a state legislators' group, who has vocally opposed closed-door sessions by the nation's insurance regulators' organization, is renewing his effort to establish dialogue between the two bodies.
State Representative Brian Kennedy, D-Hopkinson, R.I., the vice president of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL), made his request in a letter Tuesday to Walter Bell, Alabama insurance commissioner and president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, Kansas City, Mo.
In the letter, Rep. Kennedy noted that as a follow-up to a July 12 telephone conversation prior to the National Conference of Insurance Legislators' summer meeting, he was emphasizing his belief that "it is important to have open and free dialogue between state legislators and our state insurance commissioners and supervisors as we attempt to work cooperatively to maintain a state-based insurance regulatory system in the United States." Mr. Kennedy is NCOIL's vice president and president-elect.
