House Financial Services Chairman Mike Oxley, R-Ohio, a key congressional voice on insurance issues, will speak to Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America leadership on April 24, IIABA said.
The group said his talk will be made prior to their National Legislative Conference and Convention in Washington.
Rep. Oxley, first elected in 1981, is retiring at the end of this term.
IIABA said the congressman has had a profound impact on insurance and financial services issues during his tenure, noting his role in enactment of the landmark 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act establishing new protections for investors and setting higher standards for corporate governance.
They also noted his work with Subcommittee Chairman Richard Baker, R-La., to formulate a new plan to streamline and reform the state-based insurance regulation system, the State Modernization and Regulatory Transparency Act (SMART).
Mr. Oxley's IIABA briefing on the issues and the politics of Capitol Hill will precede the conference April 26-28 at Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, D.C. and the Washington Convention Center.
