Federal Insurance Office Act approved unanimously by House Financial Services Committee today
As a quick FYI, today the House Financial Services Committee unanimously passed, by voice vote, H.R. 2609, the Federal Insurance Office Act. "Today, the Financial Services Committee completed its initial work to reform the regulatory structure of the financial services industry by passing my Federal Insurance Office Act," said Chairman Kanjorski. "I have been working on this bipartisan bill since 2008, and I am pleased that the new Administration recognizes the importance of ensuring that the federal government has a knowledge base on insurance. With the improvements made to the bill today through amendments, we can now continue to move this important bill and the other regulatory reform bills through the legislative process. I am eager to pass these bills in the House." The bill is available [here.]
