Are you frustrated by the new CE law?
Don't worry, our Communications Director can't get it right, either.
We are working with the Department to clarify Act 326 and how and when they intend to implement it. We will be sending a separate Education Update to all Agent News subscribers with some FAQs about the CE changes.

| | | NATIONAL: News | | |  | | BIG “I” Encourages Donations to Trusted Choice® Disaster Relief Fund (ALEXANDRIA, VA Sept. 3, 2008)–As Tropical Storms Hanna and Ike develop and Hurricane Gustav lingers around the already battered Gulf Coast, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (the Big “I”) stands ready to help meet disaster assistance needs, through the Trusted Choice® Disaster Relief Fund. Although better planning and disaster preparedness helped to lessen the damage from Gustav, there are still more than two months left in the 2008 hurricane season, and those in the Midwest are still recovering from flooding earlier this summer. | | | | Tropical Storm and Hurricane Advisory (Alexandria, VA—September 2, 2008) – As Hurricane Hanna approaches, Tropical Storm Ike develops and Hurricane Gustav lingers around the already battered Gulf Coast, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) can discuss what consumers need to know about dealing with unpredictable storms and recovering from their wrath. Agents can explain flood insurance coverage, rebuilding efforts, disaster-related claims, and can help sort through the confusion of differing insurance policies and types of coverage. IIABA can also provide consumers with helpful tips for dealing with natural disasters. | | | | Big "I" Sends Letter to SEC Opposing Equity Indexed Annuities Proposal WASHINGTON, D.C., August 29, 2008 Please find the text of a Big "I" comment letter to the SEC concerning a proposed rule to subject equity indexed annuities to oversight by the SEC rather than state insurance regulators. The Big "I" strongly objects to this increase in federal regulatory authority. | | | | ALL IIABA NEWS AND PRESS RELEASES | | | | Subscribe to Insurance News & Views You can subscribe to Insurance News & Views, IIABA’s weekly member email newsletter.
