Which of the following is NOT an activity of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL)?

• A. Educating legislators on insurance issues
• B. Helping communications between state legislators on insurance issues
• C. Improving insurance regulation
• D. Providing tax advisory services to insurers

Answer: (D)

NCOIL’s role is to support lawmakers on insurance policy, which includes educating legislators about insurance issues, fostering communication among state legislators on those issues, and helping to improve how insurance regulation is developed and applied through guidance and model acts. Providing tax advisory services to insurers falls outside this legislative and regulatory-support focus, as tax advice is typically handled by tax professionals, not a policy-oriented legislative group. Because the organization’s activities center on informing, coordinating, and shaping regulation for policymakers, the option describing tax advisory services does not fit with what NCOIL does. The remaining activities align with its mission since they involve educating lawmakers, facilitating inter-state collaboration, and contributing to regulatory improvements rather than offering tax or financial advice to insurers.
