A new venue, a new House Speaker and some new concerns will greet agents and brokers at the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America Legislative Conference and Convention next week in Washington, D.C.

At the conference, agents will hear from IIABA leaders about the most-pressing legislative issues facing independent agents and will learn how they should share their concerns and perspectives with the lawmakers they visit—and hope to influence—during the course of the conference.

At the top of the list of key issues is fighting for an exemption of agents' commissions from the medical-loss-ratio calculations (MLRs) that healthcare companies are mandated to meet under the healthcare reform act.
