"With our new Policywriting Support Forms service, insurers can access a broad range of forms that will help them comply with specific legal and regulatory requirements of state insurance regulators," said Domenick J. Yezzi, Jr., ISO vice president — specialty commercial lines. "Insurers require a variety of policy-related forms to administer insurance programs, and now they have them from ISO,the source they trust for expertise in drafting standard insurance policy forms for over 18 lines of business," Yezzi added.
