A New York agent's association is looking to have legislation reintroduced that would address what the association says are oversight and competitive issues surrounding the New York State Insurance Fund.

NYSIF is a state-run entity that provides workers' compensation coverage to New York businesses and does not pay commissions to producers who place business with the fund.

Michael Barrett, legislative representative for the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of New York, said producers are concerned with the lack of oversight of NYSIF practices, noting that the fund is not overseen the way normal private carriers are in the state.
