Laws To Supervise Insurance Rate Making In Pennsylvania
Harrisburg reports that Pennsylvania must pass a law by January 1, 1948 to supervise rate making by fire and casualty insurers or have current methods of setting uniform rates banned by federal law. Insurance Commissioner Gregg L. Neel urged cooperation with agents to draft legislation for the 1947 session, noting federal anti trust rules will apply to unregulated insurance business after the deadline. He cited limited state supervision today, mainly on workmen’s compensation rates, and praised the compensation rating act as a model for potential fire and casualty rate regulation.
