Texas Senate passes insurance reform legislation in Texas
The Texas Senate approved a 28 to 3 bill to overhaul homeowner and auto rate regulation requiring insurers to file rate increases with the Insurance Commissioner. The measure, sent to the House, aims to lower rates and increase accountability, with a 60 day review window and provisions on credit history use. Critics say it could reduce access to insurance and raise costs for some Texans.
