Acting commissioner appointed for state Division of Insurance

Amy Parks, chief insurance counsel and hearing officer for the Nevada Division of Insurance, will serve as acting insurance commissioner following the departure of Scott Kipper last week.

Bruce Breslow, Nevada's director of the Department of Business and Industry, announced Parks' appointment today. This is her second stint serving as acting commissioner.

Parks has been chief insurance counsel and hearing officer for the Nevada Division of Insurance since spring 2009. She has worked at the Division for 11 years.

In June, the Division announced that Kipper, who had served as insurance commissioner since October 2011, had resigned. His last day was Thursday.

Kipper did not disclose his future plans, a Division spokeswoman said today.

Parks graduated from UNR with a bachelor of science in laboratory medicine in 1980. She later received her law degree from Northwestern School of Law at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore.

Parks was admitted to the State Bar of Nevada in 1997.
