Which of the following is NOT a reason some model laws are changed or never adopted by states?

Model laws are recommendations from the NAIC designed to harmonize regulation, but adopting them is voluntary for each state. A state might change or skip a model law because it already has similar protections in place, it sees the topic as unnecessary or covered elsewhere, or lawmakers want to tailor provisions to their own circumstances. The statement about NAIC imposing a federal requirement that preempts state law isn’t accurate: NAIC cannot issue federal mandates. Preemption comes from federal law itself trumping state law, not from model acts.
