Mutual Insurance Bill Could Allow Statewide Indiana Fire Coverage
A proposed amendment backed by the Mutual Insurance Companies Union of Indiana would let a mutual fire insurer form and operate statewide if enacted. The bill modifies current law and follows a tax-related court ruling that blocked collecting taxes on large cash deposits held by Vandalia Railroad Co. in Indianapolis and Terre Haute banks. Legislative activity included swift Senate and House sessions with party-line outcomes, election of leaders, and the dismissal of a treasurer’s fees dispute, while Lake County election fraud arrests surfaced in East Chicago.
