Insurance
Senate
The New York State Senate Insurance Committee develops and reviews legislation impacting insurance policy, regulation, consumer protections, and the insurance industry across all lines—health, life, property, casualty, and more. The committee’s responsibilities include oversight of insurance licensing, rates, claims practices, fraud prevention, and market stability, with a focus on protecting consumers and ensuring a robust, competitive insurance market in New York.
The committee’s legal jurisdiction encompasses Insurance Law (governing insurers and insurance products), relevant portions of Financial Services Law, General Business Law (insurance-related consumer protections), and sometimes Tax Law (insurance premium taxes) and Public Health Law (health plan regulation).
Senator Jamaal Bailey serves as Chair, with Senator Pamela Helming as Ranking Member. The committee typically has 11–13 members and meets regularly during the legislative session; schedules and membership rosters are kept current on the Senate’s website.
