Monitoring Availability and Affordability of Auto Insurance

Özet

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provides the Federal Insurance Office with a number of authorities including monitoring the extent to which traditionally underserved communities and consumers, minorities, and low- and moderate-income persons have access to affordable insurance products regarding all lines of insurance, except health insurance. Treasury issues this notice to elicit comment from state insurance regulators, consumer organizations, representatives of the insurance industry, policyholders, academia, and others as appropriate regarding: (1) A reasonable and meaningful definition of affordability; and (2) the metrics and data FIO should use to monitor the extent to which traditionally underserved communities and consumers, minorities, and low- and moderate-income persons have access to affordable auto insurance.
