Business & Industry/Division of Insurance
To protect the rights of Nevada consumers in the experiences with the insurance industry and to ensure the
financial solvency of insurers.

The Nevada Division of Insurance envisions a marketplace where consumers are confident in their insurance
choices, insurers operate responsibly and transparently, and Nevada remains a national model for fair
regulation, consumer protection, and industry stability.

This position works across several units-the Administrative and
Accounting Sections, which are responsible for the agency's operational
needs (such as fiscal, budgeting, personnel and human resources,
payroll, and contracts), the Product Compliance Section, which is
responsible for evaluating rates and forms filed by licensees. The
Self-Insured Worker's Compensation Section, which is responsible for
regulating self-insured companies and groups, along with
administrators. The services provided by the different sections run the
gamut-the Administrative and Accounting Sections support Division
staff, and the Product Compliance and Self-Insured Worker's
Compensation Sections are integral to insurance regulation.
