Insurance industry trade groups responded this week to various aspects of President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” the proposed tax code previously passed by the U.S. House and now under consideration by the Senate.
Both the House version as well as the Senate's reconciliation bill extend tax cuts to individuals and corporations set to expire, according to The New York Times; albiet, the Senate’s version earmarks larger corporate cuts. “The tweaks could carry vast implications for millions of families and business owners, as Republicans continue to calibrate a costly bill that could alter the trajectory of the economy and shape the nation’s financial health for generations,” Tony Romm reported for The New York Times.

“The business of insurance has been successfully regulated at the state level for over a century, and the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945 codified the longstanding exemption of the insurance industry from most federal regulation,” PIA CEO Mike Skiados said in a press release. “The local expertise of state insurance regulators has proven beneficial for consumers, insurers, and the industry at large, thanks to their ability to quickly respond to emerging insurance risks associated with changing technologies, including artificial intelligence.”
State insurance regulators are already at the forefront of AI regulation, PIA said in its statement: “The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) adopted a Model Bulletin in 2023 that requires insurers to implement AI governance programs in accordance with all existing state and federal laws. It also offers a template by which insurance commissioners can communicate their expectations to their domiciliary carriers. As of May 2025, nearly 30 states had already adopted the NAIC’s model bulletin on the use of artificial intelligence systems by insurers.”
