State Legislation Review Highlights Crime, Insurance and Budget

It restricts Insurance Commissioner Ingram to block rate increases verifying 90 days after filing, and reorganizes crime control agencies. Law measures on liquor by the drink failed in the House, marijuana penalties tighten, porn suppression laws passed, and a Karen Quinlan style death law allows withholding life support under specified conditions.
