S 686 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to executive compensation for mutual companies

This bill requires mutual insurance companies in Massachusetts to disclose executive compensation details to their policyholders. It mandates that these companies include a non-binding vote in their annual meetings allowing shareholders to approve or disapprove the pay of named executive officers and directors. The legislation also directs the state insurance commissioner to create new regulations that enhance transparency in how executive pay is determined and reported. By adding these requirements, the bill aims to give mutual company members more insight into the financial decisions made by company leadership.
