ESG Legislation Tracking

The RAA monitors state legislative activity for bill and resolution filings pertaining to environmental, social and governance (ESG)
issues which may impact the broader insurance market.

Below are three tracking charts. The first chart lists legislation directly impacting (re)insurers either by specific reference or by
definition of the terms. The second chart lists other ESG bills which may have smaller impact on the broader industry. Bills on the
second chart could be amended at some point to create a direct impact upon (re)insurers. The third chart lists miscellaneous ESG bills
which currently do not affect the industry, but which we are monitoring just in case that changes.
The RAA has classified bills based upon their various impacts. Given the inherent limitations of tracking charts and the speed at
which legislation moves in state legislatures, we urge users to review the source documents and check the state legislature websites for
the latest version of the legislation.

Please note: the Pro/Anti column on the chart denotes whether the bill is “pro” ESG or “anti” ESG and does not necessarily reflect the RAA’s position on the bill.
