Questions Raised Over Licensure For $1 Capital Insurance Firm
Superintendent of Insurance Drake seeks guidance from the corporation counsel on whether the new Congressional Insurance Company must obtain a license. The firm is capitalized at $1 in 1 cent shares and aims to offer general health life and accident insurance. Drake notes a prior ruling requiring $106,000 minimum paid-in capital for District insurers, and that a recently deemed undercapitalized firm was ordered to raise funds. He doubts a license will be granted to this undercapitalized company.
