Insurance Bill Passes Senate in Georgia Deposit Cut to 5000
The Georgia Senate approved a Duncan bill to cut state deposit requirements for insurance firms from 25000 to 5000 and to authorize the comptroller general to determine solvency of insurers without court action. An amendment by Senator Clifton extended the same deposit rule to fidelity and surety companies, sending the measure back to the House for concurrence. Senator Steed led the push, praising the bill as beneficial to Georgia insurers entering foreign markets, while Senator Humphreys opposed it, arguing the large deposit remains proper.
