National Association Of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)
Membership organization of state insurance commissioners. One of its goals is to promote uniformity of state regulation and legislation as it concerns the insurance industry. The NAIC opposes federal regulation of insurance. The organization has achieved considerable national uniformity through the adoption of a uniform blank for insurance companies' annual financial reports, a zone system for the triennial examinations of insurance companies, a standard valuation law for reserves, standard non forfeiture benefits, and model laws for valuation of the insurance company's securities.
