Model Laws

Tailoring Regulation & Ensuring Consistency

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners model law development process helps provide uniformity while balancing the needs of insurers operating in multiple jurisdictions with the unique nature of state judicial, legislative and regulatory frameworks.

Consumer Protection

The value of a state-based regulatory system is the ability to tailor state laws and regulations to meet the needs of resident consumers.

Uniformity

There is recognition that there are some areas where uniformity and consistency across state borders is beneficial to all.

State Adoption

It is primarily through the states’ adoption of our model laws and regulations that the legal framework for insurance regulation has been largely harmonized throughout all the states.

This comprehensive publication provides quick access to every NAIC Model Law, Regulation, and Guideline. Included with every model is a state action page that cites each state's enacted model or similar legislation. Many models also include a Project History that explains why the model was adopted and why certain provisions were included.
