A bill that would make the Pennsylvania insurance commissioner
an elected
rather than appointed position was introduced in the state's
House of
Representatives.
Legislation sponsored by Rep. Neal Goodman, a Democrat from
Mahanoy City,
would limit an elected commissioner to holding no more than
two consecutive four-year terms. It also prevents a commissioner leaving office from holding
a position
with an insurance company within four years of his departure.
Legislation also has been introduced in Connecticut to make
the
commissioner's job an elected one. Former Commissioner Thomas
Sullivan was
criticized for approving significant health insurance rate
hikes last year.
The proposal, by Rep. Andrew Fleischman, a Democrat from West
Hartford, was
introduced in late January.
Eleven states elect their commissioners, according to the the
Insurance
Journal. In most cases, chief insurance regulators are
appointed either
directly by a state's governor or group controlled by a
governor.
