Interstate Insurance Product Regulation Compact: 2013 Legislation
NCSL Resources
NCSL Contact

States are committed to pursuing modernization of state insurance regulation and they are adopting a streamlined system of product regulation over four product lines: life insurance, annuities, disability income, and long-term care insurance. Through the compact, states are creating uniform product standards, which allows insurers to market insurance products more quickly since they will not have to meet state-specific standards.
Since meeting its operational threshold in May 2006, the IIPRC now has 43 Member States representing approximately two-thirds of the premium volume nationwide.
In the 2013 legislative session, seven bills in five states were pending regarding the IIPRC. Arkansas, Florida and Montana enacted legislation adopting the IIPRC. Florida's new law does not became effective until July 1, 2014.
