Psgt 2-Tht Ptrqulmsm WttWy, Htrtford. M.C., TtwrKiay. Juntt, H77 Lcaen from unr iteaaen: Editor's . Mailbag Speaking Out On Proposed Bilk TO. THE EDITOR: The North Carolina General Assembly is considering two bills supported by the Insurance industry which would drastically change the present system of insurance rate making in this state to the disadvantage of the people. - HB 658 and SB 150 would end our present system of prior approval of insurance rates by an elected Insurance Com missioner. Instead, insurance companies would be turned loose on the people of North Carolina to set their own rates. The practical effect of these bills would be to make the elected Insurance Commissioner powerless to regulate in surance rates in the public's interest. If these bills are passed there will be a raid on the peoples' pocketbooks. Rates for automobile liability insurance alone will increase $54 million dollars. Rates for other lines of in surance can increase by several hundred million dollars within the next year. . Both bills would effectively ruin two important laws: 1. the Reinsurance Facility Law which abolished the discriminatory Assigned Risk Plan, and 2. the law abolishing age and sex discrimination with a good safe driver plan. The insurance industry has the largest single group of paid lobbyists in the General Assembly. They are working night and day to enact SB 150 and EB 658. A large number of insurance agents are on both the House and Senate In surance Committees. These bills could reach the floor of the General Assembly within the week. I need your help to fight these bills. Write, call and telegraph your elected representatives. Let them know that you want your elected Insurance Commissioner to approve rates before they go into effect. The citizens of North Carolina will have to pick up this multi-million dollar tab if these bad bills become law.
