SSR 2 Louisiana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER: Requests the Senate Committee on Insurance to study and make recommendations regarding the effects of making the commissioner of insurance an appointed position.

This bill (SSR 2) is a study request asking the Senate Committee on Insurance to examine changing Louisiana's insurance commissioner from an elected position to an appointed one. It directly affects how the state regulates insurance, as the current elected commissioner oversees insurance rules, rates, and enforcement under Louisiana's Insurance Code. The study will assess potential impacts on Louisiana's insurance market and consumer costs, including the state's high auto insurance rates, and must report findings by February 2026. Louisiana is one of only 12 states with an elected insurance commissioner, making this a procedural request for analysis, not a policy change.
