Method and source

Source: the Tennessee insurance regulator company list, read 2026-10-18 and the surplus lines list. TDCI List of Licensed Companies (DataTable JSON feed; page says 'As of September 30, 2026'). admitted = rows with STATUS_REASON 'Licensed' of every COMPANY_TYPE except SURPLUS LINES; the list mixes P&C with life/health/title/fraternal/HMO/captive/county mutual, so 'type' is kept as given (filter type == 'PROPERTY' for admitted P&C). No lines of authority are published; 'lines' is always []. 'since' is empty for licensed rows (STATUS_DATE is only populated for suspended/restricted companies). surplus_lines = COMPANY_TYPE 'SURPLUS LINES' with STATUS_REASON 'Eligible' (foreign/US insurers only; TN keeps no alien list and defers to the NAIC IID Quarterly Listing, so alien is false for every row). Not included: LIFE/Restricted: 1; LIFE/Suspended: 4; PROPERTY/Restricted: 1; PROPERTY/Suspended: 9; REINSURER/Accredited: 35; REINSURER/Certified (passported): 8; REINSURER/RJ (passported): 51; REINSURER/Trusteed: 13; RISK RETENTION GROUP/Registered: 147; RISK RETENTION GROUP/Restricted: 1; RISK RETENTION GROUP/Suspended: 2. Risk retention groups ('Registered') and accredited/trusteed/certified/reciprocal-jurisdiction reinsurers are not admitted direct writers and were left out. Source page: https://www.tn.gov/commerce/insurance/consumer-resources/list-of-licensed-companies.html ; surplus lines definition: https://www.tn.gov/commerce/insurance/types-of-insurance-companies/surplus-lines.html. "Premium" is direct premium written in the state for the year shown; "share" is that company's part of the state total for the line. A company can be licensed for a line and write none of it, and a surplus lines insurer can write a line without a state license for it.
