Legislature To Act On No-Fault Insurance In NC
RALEIGH AP The North Carolina House moves to act on a long awaited no fault insurance bill. A House subcommittee led by Rep Gerald Arnold completed work and the bill may be considered today by the Insurance Committee. The Senate passed a no fault bill last year and this House version differs but advocates may accept it. The House bill lowers the medical expense threshold from 750 to 500 or seven days hospitalization and provides up to 5000 for economic losses plus 5000 for accidental death. Two riders would let the insurance commissioner base rates on state loss experience and earnings from investments to determine a fair return on capital. In other action, the House Roads Committee killed a bill to elect the Secretary of Transportation. A Senate Judiciary Committee killed a House plan to repeal the fair trade law, which would let manufacturers set prices, citing risk to small retailers.

North Carolina Senate to vote on tighter campaign controls
The NC Senate will vote on a bill to tighten the Corrupt Practices Act by revising campaign spending rules. The measure, approved by House and Senate Elections Laws Committees, would require candidates for state offices to file four date specific contribution and expense accounts during an election year, with general election timing unchanged. The League of Women Voters and Common Cause back the bill, while critics say it lacks spending limits and would mislead as reform.
