A state legislators’ organization told the nation’s insurance regulators that it fully supports its efforts to achieve greater uniformity to modernize the producer licensing process.

“We’re fully behind you on producer licensing; we need to get more states behind you,” said Rhode Island State Rep. Brian Kennedy, president of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL). Kennedy’s comments came during a briefing session held at the NAIC’s summer meetings in San Francisco.

At the meeting, New Hampshire Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny said producer licensing reform was moving ahead on many fronts and needed their support. “It’s a critical role you play helping state regulators and producers,” he said after outlining the NAIC’s efforts to create licensing uniformity. Sevigny heads the NAIC’s Industry Producer Licensing Coalition. PIA Immediate Past President Donna Pile is a member of the coalition.
