Insurance Regulation in the Dodd-Frank Era

No 2015-PB-02, NFI Policy Briefs from Indiana State University, Scott College of Business, Networks Financial Institute

Abstract: The wrenching financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 triggered an intense period of regulatory reflection. The congressional response - the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) - substantially reshaped the country's financial regulatory framework. The new framework reflects a deep confidence in federal regulators to identify systemic problems and prevent them from causing system crises. Dodd-Frank, however, seemingly left the industry securely in state regulators’ hands, where it had been for well over a century. Although one of Dodd-Frank’s sixteen titles is devoted to insurance, that title creates a Federal Insurance Office (FIO) with a comparatively narrow mandate.
