In Sacramento, no fault auto insurance proposals stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee after lobbyist pressure from lawyer groups while Assemblyman Jack Fenton’s bill cleared the Ways and Means Committee on a split vote. Fenton said changes would come if the bill reaches the Senate, as opponents argued the plan would raise premiums and do little to ease court congestion.
