The House Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce voted to pass SCR 57 SD1 on April 16, 2025, a resolution urging the United States Congress to enact a national reinsurance program to address multistate insurance losses resulting from catastrophic natural disasters.
The measure, described by the committee as intended to ‘‘adjust the multistate insurance crisis resulting from catastrophic natural disasters,’’ was offered without public testimony; the committee record shows no one registered to testify on SCR 57 SD1 in person or via Zoom. The committee recommended passage unamended and adopted the recommendation by voice vote.
Committee members recorded voting in the affirmative included the chair and vice chair, Rep. Iligan (aye), Rep. Uemoto (aye), Rep. Lowen (aye) and Rep. Martin (aye). Several members were recorded as excused during the meeting. The committee did not introduce amendments and offered no additional direction in the decision-making session.
Because SCR 57 SD1 is a resolution urging federal action rather than a state statutory change, there are no implementation steps for state agencies recorded in the committee’s decision. The measure will be transmitted according to standard legislative procedures for resolutions directing attention to federal policymakers.
