Lobbying efforts

The IIABA has spent more than $1 million in 2010 in lobbying efforts on federal crop insurance, insurance licensing reform, and other insurance issues.

The IIABA supported the National Association of Registered Agents and Brokers Reform Act of 2013 (H.R. 1155; 113th Congress), a bill which would reduce the regulatory costs of complying with multiple states' requirements for insurance companies, making it easier for the same company to operate in multiple states.
