Des Moines, Iowa (RI) — Insurance company executives and agents who sell insurance gathered at the Iowa Capitol on Tuesday to urge legislators to pass one of the governor’s priorities. The bill is a collection of ideas developed in response to last year’s natural disasters. For example, it would require insurance umpires, appraisers, and independent adjusters to be licensed by the State of Iowa in order to work in Iowa. Governor Reynolds says insurance plays a vital role in protecting families, businesses and communities.
The governor signed a proclamation Tuesday honoring Iowa’s insurance industry.
Nearly 200 insurance companies are headquartered in Iowa, and over 90 thousand people work directly or indirectly in the state’s insurance industry. That’s about three percent of the entire private sector workforce in Iowa.
