Mackin & Company, among other things, manages the Association of Financial Guaranty Insurers (AFGI), an international trade association whose members transact virtually all the financial guaranty insurance written on municipal bonds and private sector debt in the United States and in a growing global market. Mackin & Company helped form AFGI in 1986. We helped develop and lobby the enactment of state laws that now govern the financial guaranty insurance industry. AFGI members now insure more than
$3 trillion worldwide. The company has participated in successful lobbying efforts on behalf of financial guaranty insurers before the Legislatures and Insurance Departments in California, Connecticut, Florida, New York, and other states, the NAIC, as well as Congress and Executive Branch agencies including the Treasury and the SEC.
Mackin & Company also managed the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL), overseeing the development of cutting-edge model laws, including commercial insurance lines regulatory modernization enacted in more than 24 states and insurance credit scoring model legislation enacted in more than 26 states. Most recently, Mackin & Company helped NCOIL develop a Market Conduct Surveillance Model Law. Adoption of the model followed extensive research and the development of broad industry, legislative, and regulatory consensus. Mackin & Company raised more than $300,000 for the research that served as the basis for that model.
Mackin & Company helped launch the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS). Mackin & Company produced a body of work that has included a model state-tribal gaming document identifying issues likely to arise in state-tribal negotiations over Indian gaming, a report on unclaimed state lottery prize money, and a model law that addresses issues in charitable gaming.
Mackin & Company has also been active in publishing. It founded the
Insurance Legislative Fact Book & Almanac, a directory of state and Congressional policymakers responsible for insurance and financial services regulation. According to
Government Finance Review, the Almanac is “a wealth of information for those seeking to make, affect, or administer the laws that govern insurance markets.” The company also developed two annual volumes on important state legislation affecting insurers and markets entitled
Property & Casualty Insurance State Legislation: 1998 Year in
Review, and State Insurance Legislation: 1999 Yearbook, for Commerce Clearing House, Inc., and
Comply, a two-volume work in state insurance investment law, published by the NILS Publishing Company.
