Insurance Board weighs changes to auto rate rules in Texas
State Board of Insurance at a June hearing debated new legislation or administrative rules to curb rising assigned risk coverage for young and high risk drivers. It proposed penalties for accidents and later cautioned about mass cancellations, while noting 1965 auto losses and urging uniform enforcement across counties. Budget and tax talks followed with Ben Barnes predicting inevitable tax legislation and higher education funding needs.
