The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) spending on lobbying efforts for the first half of this year totaled some $3.2 million, the organization said in a federal filing.
PCI had perhaps the highest outlay among insurance trade organizations that made lobbying report filings last month with the Senate Secretary's office.
Joe Annotti, vice president of public affairs for PCI, said the group's main lobbying effort has been extension of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, which provides federal support for insurers in the event of a major terrorist attack.
The American Insurance Association's lobbying spending for the first half of this was reported as $2.1 million. A portion of AIA's outlay went to the Washington lobbying firm Fierce Isakowitz and Blalock, which reported it was paid $100,000 by the trade group during the first half.
The Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America listed $872,354 spent on lobbying in the first half.
The National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies reported a $630,000 first-half lobbying outlay, while the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents spent $307,268.
