Agencies Frown on Insurance Rate Dip
Arkansas Insurance Commissioner Harvey G. Combs heard State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. request a lowering rate for suburban residents served by municipal fire departments. The Arkansas Association of Insurance Agents opposed the proposal. Combs did not announce a decision but signaled disfavor. State Farm had previously been granted a suburban rule, but it was set aside after agent complaints. The company argued that a suburban area outside city limits with fire protection should not be classified with rural areas lacking protection.
