Background
The Dodd-Frank Act as passed by Congress in July 2010 contains many comprehensive financial regulatory reforms and measures. Significantly, it allows for the creation of a Financial Stability Oversight Council to monitor all financial institutions in order to avoid regulatory gaps and failures.
Title V of Dodd-Frank specifically addresses the insurance industry and allows for the establishment of a Federal Insurance Office (FIO) to be run by a director appointed by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury. (Subtitle A.)
The role of this office is to study and share information. Whilst it will not have any regulatory power, it will report and make recommendations to the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury on all insurance matters.
Subtitle B concerns state based insurance reforms and is titled the Nonadmitted and Reinsurance Reform Act (NRRA). It is divided into two parts: Part I concerns surplus lines covers and Part II reinsurance. The effective date of this Act is 21 July 2011 and its intention is to provide uniformity and consistency to the various existing laws and regulations.
Please see the dedicated Surplus Lines Reform Page and Reinsurance Reform Page for more information on these subjects.
The Illinois Insurance Director, Michael T. McRaith has been appointed as of the FIO. This office will advise federal authorities on insurance matters and assist in preparing reports .
