TO: PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURERS WRITING BUSINESS IN MINNESOTA
FROM: Steve Kelley, Commissioner
DATE: June 22, 2020
Due to riots/civil commotion following the killing of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, the Minnesota
Department of Commerce (Commerce Department) is conducting a disaster data gathering effort. This
effort is necessary to provide much-needed information to the Commerce Department, as well as
information for local, state and federal officials responsible for making policy and public funding
decisions for the relief, rebuilding and future risk mitigation effort over the next several months and
years.
Certain property and casualty insurers transacting property and casualty business in Minnesota are
hereby directed to submit certain information for claims resulting from the riots/civil commotion
following Mr. Floyd’s death and the expected financial impact associated with the resulting civil unrest.
Information regarding the riots/civil commotion should be submitted on the provided Excel template
to: insurance.bulletin@state.mn.us. (Requests for electronic copy of the spreadsheet can also be
directed to this email address).
Information or data submitted is confidential and shall be disclosed to other state insurance regulators
or state and federal regulatory bodies only if necessary to further the requesting entity's regulatory
authority, and only if the entity to whom disclosure is made has the legal authority necessary to
protect from disclosure and to otherwise preserve the confidential or privileged nature of the
confidential information it receives. However, some data in aggregate, industry-wide form will be
made publicly available.
If an insurer has any questions regarding submitting information, and/or general questions regarding
the Reporting Guidelines or Reporting Criteria, please contact: insurance.bulletin@state.mn.us.
