Cannabis Insurance (C) Working Group

2023 Membership

2023 Adopted Charges

The Cannabis Insurance (C) Working Group will:

  1. Assess and periodically report on the status of federal legislation that would protect financial institutions from liability associated with providing services to cannabis businesses operating legally under state law.
  2. Encourage admitted insurers to ensure coverage adequacy in states where cannabis, including hemp, is legal.
  3. Provide insurance resources to stakeholders, and keep up with new products and innovative ideas that may shape insurance in this space. 
  4. Explore potential sources of constraint to coverage limits and availability of cannabis insurance products within the admitted and non-admitted market. Explore the use of cannabis on P/C insurance lines of business. Use information gained to develop an appendix to the Understanding the Market for Cannabis Insurance 2.0 white paper.
