THE JOB OF SELECTING A NEW STATE INSURANCE SUPERINTENDENT NOW FALLS TO A NINE-MEMBER COMMITTEE. VOTERS APPROVED A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT LAST FALL TO REMOVE THE TASK FROM THE PUBLIC REGULATION COMMITTEE. THE EIGHT ALREADY SELECTED FOR THE PANEL BY THE GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ON THURSDAY CHOSE FORMER STATE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER CHRIS KRAHLING AS THE NINTH MEMBER.
THE PANEL IS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT'S JOB, AND BEGINS THE SELECTION PROCESS NEXT TUESDAY. THE PERSON THEY CHOOSE WILL START WORK IN JULY.
