U.S. Sen. Susan M. Collins, R-Maine, has been named Federal Legislator of the Year by the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC).

NAMIC's president and chief executive officer, Chuck Chamness, noted Sen. Collins' efforts to extend the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act and her opposition to repealing the McCarran-Ferguson Act, which exempts insurers from certain anti-trust provisions.

"Senator Collins has a great understanding and appreciation of the property-casualty insurance industry, which she gained while serving as the Maine Commissioner of Professional and Financial Regulation, which oversaw the Bureau of Insurance," said Mr. Chamness. "Senator Collins has taken a leadership role on many insurance issues before Congress."
