Insurance measures in Illinois Senate target reserve funds
United Press reports two Illinois Senate proposals by Senator H J Hanisch Chicago. One requires life and mutual insurers to hold reserves of five percent of annual premiums pro rata for short policies and based on other rules for longer terms. The second mirrors domestic stock company reserves for mutual insurers. If a state fund exists reserves max out at fund levels. A separate bill by Senator J J Hamilton of Mattoon would standardize milk price by preventing local price disparities unless due to quality or cost differences, with penalties up to 5000 dollars or a year in jail.
