Virginia Stocks Ponders SCC Workload Ahead of 1976 Assembly
State Sen J Harry Michael D Charlottesville chairs the subcommittee seeking details from the SCC before 1976 General Assembly recommendations. A hearing examiner system may be used with a staff attorney handling original evidence. The SCC approved designating its commissioner of insurance as hearing examiner for potential advertising rule revisions in accident and sickness insurance. Commissioner Shannon notes staff expansion aims for quality over quantity. Michael adds commissioners sit as judges so naming a consumer or utility representative to the board is questionable.
