Bill Amended by House Defeats Free Carpet Wool Resolve
In the General Court the Senate bill to provide a remedy in cases of alleged law violations by insurance companies faced a heated three reading in the House with amendments to give the insurance commissioner more procedural checks. Debates centered on appeals to the Supreme Court, temporary injunctions, and the balance of power between the commissioner and foreign corporations. The measure passed after amendments, facing opposition from several members who argued it would erode the commissioner’s authority. Separately, a House resolution urging Congress to secure free carpet wool faced a brief Senate discussion and failed to be concurred for immediate reference, amid party-line votes.
