Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner
Government agency in Washington State, USA
- Mike Kreidler, Commissioner
The Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner was created in 1889–90, and became a separate agency in 1907 with an elected commissioner.[1] The current commissioner is Mike Kreidler, a Democrat first elected in 2000 and reelected five times.
In 2014, a bill was introduced to replace the elected commissioner with a 10-person board which would hire the commissioner.[2] It was passed in both houses but vetoed by Governor Jay Inslee.[3]
In 2015, the office denied applications by a number of association health plans, resulting in a legal dispute with those affected.[4]
