Bill Pollard will participate in a roundtable discussion with members of the House Financial l Services Capital Markets Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Richard H. Baker (R-La.). The roundtable discussion will examine various terrorism risk insurance proposals.
“NAMIC appreciates the Committee’s effort to bring this issue into focus, and is encouraged by activity in Congress to establish a federal backstop,” said Pam Allen, vice president-federal affairs. “NAMIC’s preference is for a program with retention levels based on individual company surplus rather than industry-wide and for a single definition of terrorism.”
