Senate Insurance Committee Will Not Vote on Insurance Reform
February 15, 2008 - 11:25am — David Baria
The Senate Insurance Committee chairman advised me this week that he will not bring up any Katrina- related insurance bills. This is terrible news for those of us who believed that needed insurance reforms would be passed this year. His reasoning for not bringing any of the 7 bills I have filed to a vote is that he feels they need further study. Lt. Governor Bryant pushed for a shorter session this year which may need to be lengthened if insurance reform needs more study. To the contrary, I believe that 2 1/2 years after Katrina is sufficient time to have studied the problem. Nevertheless, I will continue to dialogue with the chairman in hopes that something can be done to help resolve the insurance crisis we are facing.
