  • Insurance Laws COVID-19 Notice
    RICARDO LARA CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER NOTICE TO: All Admitted and Non-Admitted Insurance Companies, all Licensed Producers, Independent Adjusters, and Other Interested Parties FROM: Commissioner Ricardo Lara DATE: March 18, 2020 RE: Insurance Company Obligations to Comply with Insurance Laws during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak Insurers and other licensees of the California Department of Insurance (Department) are subject to numerous legal and commercial obligations and timeframes. In response to the disruption caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara strongly encourages all insurance companies and other Department licensees to take steps during the crisis necessary to maintain their ability to process and pay insurance claims and provide other required consumer services for insureds in a reasonable and timely manner. The Department of Insurance is also aware that an increasing number of local public health departments throughout the state have issued “shelter in place” directives requiring residents to stay home and directing workplaces to implement telecommuting procedures where feasible. The Department recognizes that the COVID-19 outbreak continues to strain insurance industry resources and reduce the staff available to conduct mandatory on-site inspections or audits, to adjust and pay claims, process underwriting documents, and perform other required insurance transactions. Please be informed that the Department of Insurance intends to consider the extraordinary circumstances relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting disruptions to normal business operations when evaluating whether insurers and other Department licensees have complied with their respective legal and commercial obligations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    MIKE KREIDLER STATE OF WASHINGTON STATE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER www.insurance.wa.gov OFFICE OF INSURANCE COMMISSIONER June 14, 2021 The Honorable Gary Gensler, Chair U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, Northeast Washington, DC 20549 RE: US Insurance Regulator Experience with Insurer Financial Disclosure on Climate Change Dear Mr. Gensler, In response to your agency’s request for public input on climate change disclosures, I would like to offer some observations arising from my experience as the insurance commissioner for Washington State. For 12 years, my fellow state insurance regulators and I have been requiring the largest insurers operating in the United States to report annually on the financial implications of climate change to their businesses as well respond to a question about their own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In recent years, we have encouraged companies to submit a report aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in lieu of answering the eight questions in the annual Climate Risk Disclosure Survey. A growing number of companies are choosing to do so. At the outset, I should say that I agree with the sentiment of SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee who, during an NYU Stern School conference in April, indicated that the likely outcome of the current effort to encourage greater disclosure regarding the impact of climate change on companies is that regulators will ultimately require “TCFD plus”. My perspective on required insurer financial disclosure on climate change largely stems from my direct experience working on this issue for more than a decade as Washington State Insurance Commissioner, a statewide elected position I have served in for over 20 years.

Mary Jones: Last First Lady of the Republic of Texas. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2011, 275 pp., 3 tables, 2 illustrations, bibliography, 327 titles. This dissertation uses archival and interpretive methods to examine the life and contributions of Mary Smith McCrory Jones in Texas. Specifically, this project investigates the ways in which Mary Jones emerged into the public sphere, utilized myth and memory, and managed her life as a widow. Each of these larger areas is examined in relation to historiographicaly accepted patterns and in the larger context of women in Texas, the South, and the nation during this period. Mary Jones, 1819-1907, experienced many of the key early periods in Anglo Texas history. The research traces her family’s immigration to Austin’s Colony and their early years under Mexican sovereignty. The Texas Revolution resulted in her move to Houston and her first brief marriage. Following the death of her husband she met and married Anson Jones, a physician who served in public posts throughout the period of the Texas Republic. Over time Anson was politically and personally rejected to the point that he committed suicide.
