Bill Seeks Expanded Power for Texas Insurance Board
A bill introduced in Austin on February 3 by Lai Strickland Marshall and Bell would broaden the State Board of Insurance Commissioners authority. It allows the board to assess past records and fitness of company officers and directors, issue written notices to deny or revoke certificates, hold public hearings, and permit appeals to Travis County district court. The measure also tightens examination of company books and permits appraisers to value real estate assets to curb inflated appraisals.
