EXPLANATION
FY 2026
$20,000
This request implements a membership that arose through discussions with
individual legislators who expressed interest in New Hampshire's participation in
the National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL). At the Department's
request, the proposed membership was presented for consideration during the
prior biennial budget process, at which time the Legislature reviewed the
request, expressed support, and approved the associated funding. The
requested dues are fully supported by existing appropriations and do not
represent an expansion of program scope or cost.
As a self-funded agency, the Department's operating budget, including this
membership fee, is supported through assessments on the insurance industry.
Industry stakeholders have expressed support for the Department's continued
participation in NCOIL, recognizing that an informed and engaged legislature
contributes to a more stable, predictable, and well-functioning insurance
marketplace.
Contributing membership enables New Hampshire legislators to participate fully
