NAIC NewsWire November 12: Regulators Urge Advisors to Be a Resource for Lawmakers, Weigh Tax Credits and Super Intelligence
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) NewsWire for November 12 rounded up recent public remarks by state insurance regulators.
At the Protectors 2026 event, Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready urged agents to reach out to new state and federal officials taking office next year, saying, “You need to be a resource for these folks.” On the enhanced health insurance tax credits, he said they were meant to be temporary but favored a “glide stop instead of a hard stop,” and noted that states are seeing providers pull out of Medicare Advantage, causing major disruption.
Tennessee Insurance Commissioner Carter Lawrence said of super intelligence (SI), “I see a lot of promise, but there’s a lot of risk,” expressing concern about society’s ability to adjust to job losses, while voicing confidence that the existing regulatory framework is sufficient to protect consumers against illegal forms of discrimination. He also noted SI can give insurers better speed, better customer service and lower internal costs.
South Dakota Insurance Director Larry Deiter emphasized the value of technology in helping consumers make more informed insurance decisions and said advisors must get more involved in clients’ longevity planning.
