Listening Sessions and Public Hearings

Commissioner Marie Grant and the Maryland Insurance Administration want to hear from you!

Commissioner Grant and the Insurance Administration hold Listening Sessions and Public Hearings to help us more fully understand the experiences of individuals and communities relating to insurance.

These Listening Sessions and Public Hearings help us fulfill our statutory mission to serve Marylanders in our enforcement of Maryland's insurance laws and in our development of tools, guides, and programs for consumers.
