State Capitol Hearings On Insurance Ties to Auto Rates
Hearings in Austin on December 8 will review new insurance rules to curb arbitrary cancellations and to push auto policy rate cuts via shock absorbing bumpers. Allstate proposes 10 percent off for new cars with bumpers, rising to 15 or 20 percent with higher crash absorption. Federal rules target 1973 bumper capacity and 30 day renewal notices to avoid automatic policy renewals. A venting on vending machine regulation follows with scrutiny of Williams of Dallas, and pay raises for state employees loom as the Pay Board sets a 5.5 percent guidepost. The broader session covers liability risks for reserve deputies and county duties on tort claims.
