Mr. Downing introduced H.R.7130. Section 5 would add a State insurance commissioner as a voting FSOC member and would strike the existing nonvoting state insurance commissioner subparagraph.
Assessments
Downing materially advanced the promised policy in his same House term by sponsoring H.R.7130, whose text would convert the state insurance commissioner on FSOC from nonvoting to voting. However, the bill remains only introduced and referred to the House Financial Services Committee, and current FSOC/US Code membership still lists the state insurance commissioner as a nonvoting member. Because the promised outcome has not been enacted but the term and bill remain active, the correct status is unresolved with an effort badge.
