Bureau of Insurance

The budget for Maine State Government requires all executive branch Departments, Agencies and Offices to be closed on July 6th, 2009. Many services offered by the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation are always available at www.maine.gov/pfr.

The Bureau of Insurance regulates the insurance industry through examining and licensing procedures of insurance companies, licensing producers, reviewing rates and coverage forms, conducting audits, and by sponsoring programs that enhance awareness of and compliance with State laws. The Bureau has authority to enforce the State's insurance laws and rules, initiate investigations and hold hearings concerning possible infractions.
