The bills were loosely connected to broader “storm chaser” legislation long sought by the insurance industry to combat fraud following severe weather events.

IA&B pushed back against legislation that would have prohibited wild animal collisions as an auto insurance rating factor, and instead submitted a letter of support for a bill related to deer population management.

IA&B opposed the bills because of their potential to drive up premiums by increasing claim severity and larger settlement payments.

IA&B worked with the Senate Finance Chair to draft amendments that could come into play if the legislation is revived in future sessions.
