American InsurTech Council Joins NCOIL Corporate Institutional Partnership Program

The American InsurTech Council (AITC) has officially joined the National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) Corporate Institutional Partnership Program for 2026. This strategic move allows the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit to engage directly with state lawmakers on critical issues including insurance technology, consumer protection, and market competitiveness. For the InsurTech sector, this partnership establishes a formal channel for innovation-focused advocacy to influence the development of model laws and state-level regulatory frameworks.

The American InsurTech Council, a nonprofit advocacy organization focused on insurance innovation, has joined NCOIL’s Corporate Institutional Partnership (CIP) Program for the 2026 term. This collaboration is intended to support the council's engagement with state legislators regarding the intersection of technology and insurance regulation. By participating in the CIP Program, the council gains a structured environment to provide expertise on how technological advancements affect insurers, insurtech startups, and the broader consumer base.

NCOIL operates as a national organization for state legislators, primarily focused on drafting model laws and maintaining state jurisdiction over insurance and financial services. Patrick Gilbert, NCOIL’s Director of Policy, Administration, and Member Services, stated that the partnership aims to foster an exchange of ideas and best practices that will benefit regulators and industry participants alike. The council’s role will involve contributing perspectives on complex regulatory issues, ensuring that policymakers are well-informed about the technical realities of modern insurance operations.

Scott Harrison, Co-Founder of the American InsurTech Council, highlighted that the 2026 partnership provides a valuable opportunity to help shape policies that support market competitiveness and innovation. The council’s stated focus areas include insurance technology and consumer protection, with the goal of influencing the legislative process to reflect the needs of a digital-first industry. As NCOIL continues to serve as an educational forum for policymakers, the council’s input will be integrated into the development of policies that govern the insurance market across various states.
