South Carolina lawmakers agreed on a plan to phase out the high risk pool by 2003 and switch from the Reinsurance Facility to a joint underwriting association in 1999 and then to an assigned risk system within three to four years. The plan, not yet signed, would raise premiums for many drivers as the high risk pool shrinks and the recoupment fee continues.
