Last sunset bill sinks in Legislature in California
In Sacramento AP reports the final sunset bill of the legislative year failed in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. Sen. Omer Rains sought to abolish the Insurance Department on January 1 1980 unless continued. A Rainguide said another attempt would come in January. Critics note the department with a 7 million dollar budget and 375 employees has not curbed rate increases for drivers and doctors. A state auditor general's report previously labeled its investigations lax and biased toward large companies. Sunset laws aim to shrink government by discarding ineffective agencies.
