Insurance Bill Postponed After Heated Hearing
A house committee postponed action on a bill to remove supervision of insurance company investments from the Insurance Commissioner after a lively Thursday session. The measure, drafted by Joel Hurt of Atlanta and introduced by Rep Meaders of Goonee, faced opposition from Col R J Lowry of Atlanta and others, with insurance men present. The bill would have shifted responsibility to the legislature over a dispute involving Mr Hurt and Insurance Commissioner Wright regarding a Georgia Home Insurance Company investment of 3160000 in a venture in which Hurt is personally involved. The vote deferred action pending further testimony from Commissioner Wright.
