Indiana Legislature Eases Insurance Legislation Pressure

A political observer said Indiana's current session shows unusual caution on insurance laws. Of about eleven hundred bills, only around thirty affect insurance, and fewer than half target regular life companies. Radical proposals to move life insurance duties to the secretary of state and impose a 2 percent premium tax seem unlikely to advance soon. The public may gain from tighter assessment-organization regulation, though fraternalists resist stricter oversight. Overall, the outlook is calmer, with insurers facing little chance of costly new restrictions.
