    Business & Industry/Division of Insurance
    To protect the rights of Nevada consumers in the experiences with the insurance industry and to ensure the
    financial solvency of insurers.

    The Nevada Division of Insurance envisions a marketplace where consumers are confident in their insurance
    choices, insurers operate responsibly and transparently, and Nevada remains a national model for fair
    regulation, consumer protection, and industry stability.

    This position works across several units-the Administrative and
    Accounting Sections, which are responsible for the agency's operational
    needs (such as fiscal, budgeting, personnel and human resources,
    payroll, and contracts), the Product Compliance Section, which is
    responsible for evaluating rates and forms filed by licensees. The
    Self-Insured Worker's Compensation Section, which is responsible for
    regulating self-insured companies and groups, along with
    administrators. The services provided by the different sections run the
    gamut-the Administrative and Accounting Sections support Division
    staff, and the Product Compliance and Self-Insured Worker's
    Compensation Sections are integral to insurance regulation.

    negotiation and compromise skills are essential, balancing the
    Division's interests with its mission of consumer protection. The

  • ABOUT THE COMPANY

    • State of Nevada
    • State of Nevada

    The presence of Nevada's earliest inhabitants, beginning about 12,400 years ago, is marked by many petroglyphs and archaeological sites. Baskets, decoys, and ingenious traps are evidence of the resourcefulness of these early people in a harsh and arid environment.

    European explorers traveled through Nevada in the early 19th century, but it was not until 1851 that the first settlements were established. An Act of Congress created the Territory of Nevada on March 2, 1861. James W. Nye of New York was appointed Nevada's first Territorial Governor by President Abraham Lincoln later that year. On October 31, 1864, President Lincoln proclaimed Nevada's admission to the Union as the 36th state. The State's first elected Governor, Henry Blasdel, took office on December 5, 1864.

    Today, Nevada is the nation's seventh largest state in land area. Several hundred mountain ranges cross its landscape, many with elevations over 10,000 feet. In contrast, the State's lowest point (along the Colorado River) is only 470 feet above sea level. From majestic mountains to desert valleys, nature has endowed Nevada with diverse and unique ecosystems.

    The Nevada Legislature has honored the State's natural resources and cultural heritage with a variety of State designations described below.
