The Non-Admitted and Reinsurance Reform Act (H.R. 5637) (the "Act") is the first of several pieces of legislation that will be introduced to reform state insurance regulation. The need for substantial reform is acknowledged almost universally. During a recent hearing on the proposed National Insurance Act (S. 2509), Treasury Undersecretary Randal Quarles testified that state regulation can be "burdensome" and "inefficient" and that the current system of state regulation creates international trade problems regarding access to U.S. and foreign financial services markets. Such a direct statement by a Republican Administration is a signal to the states that change is going to occur.
