Ario No Longer "Acting Commissioner"
As of July 3, 2008, Joel Ario is now the full and confirmed, by a 50-0 vote, the Insurance Commissioner of Pennsylvania.
Those of us who do filings in PA, will need to make a change to the address block on submission letters, but since Ario has been Acting Commissioner for a year, not much else is likely to change significantly as a result of this confirmation.
Ario is one of a small number of insurance commissioners who have served in two states, having been Oregon's Insurance Administrator for 6 years prior to leading the PA Department.
