Louisiana House weighs higher premiums under insurance bills
Louisiana lawmakers consider measures that would raise premiums by over 40 million dollars. A compulsory auto accident policy would cost 7 to 8 million and cover all drivers. Workmen’s compensation would rise to 48 dollars weekly and 600 weeks of benefits, costing about 11 million. A 2 percent premium sales tax could raise 8 million, with loopholes possible by buying in nearby states. The moves target insurers and policyholders across several lines.
