About the 海角论坛
As part of our state-based system of insurance regulation in the United States, the 海角论坛 (海角论坛) provides expertise, data, and analysis for insurance commissioners to effectively regulate the industry and protect consumers. The U.S. standard-setting organization is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the 海角论坛, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews, and coordinate regulatory oversight. 海角论坛 staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally.
