About the Missouri Insurance Coalition, Missouri Insurance Information Service, and MIC-PAC

MIC

The Missouri Insurance Coalition (MIC) is a nonprofit governmental affairs and consumer education organization representing the insurance industry. MIC was established to foster a better understanding of the insurance business. MIC strives to improve the regulatory climate and maintain a free enterprise competitive system in the insurance marketplace.

Approximately 85 insurance groups and affiliated organizations, along with the industry's largest trade associations, are members of MIC.

MIC's Legislative Committee reviews all legislative and regulatory proposals pertaining to insurance and establishes the organization's governmental affairs agenda. MIC actively promotes its positions to state legislators and regulators.

MIIS

The Missouri Insurance Information Service (MIIS) prepares and disseminates informative educational materials for the general public concerning the business of insurance.

MIC-PAC

The Missouri Insurance Coalition Political Action Committee (MIC-PAC) lets insurers pool their monetary contributions to fund candidates for the state legislature. This is a separate entity for those who wish to participate on an optional basis. Missouri law permits corporations to make contributions to political action committees or directly to candidates who are running for political office.
