Mauzy proposes state cap on auto home insurance rates
Sen. Mauzy urged Gov. Smith to let the State Insurance Board set maximum auto and home insurance charges while allowing competition. A three year trial would start with 1975 reversion if not extended, and stronger policy cancellations protections would stay. A separate House panel backed group auto insurance for lower premiums and broader coverage, though concerns about rate equity were raised.
