February 23, 2018 By CollisionWeek Editor

    The Insurance committee removed the unfair and deceptive acts and practices for insurers but made it unfair and deceptive for repairs to inform consumers and take assignment of claim. No more direction to pay authorizations.

    It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see who is buttering the bread of thr insurance committee. Looks like insurers have moved up in the world from buying judges to buying the legislature.

    Good luck to the poor consumers and repairers in this state. Be a good idea to keep track of these insurance committee members so they can be named conspirators in a wrongful death law suit in the future. Also track the insurance lobbyist and their donations to these legislators.
