REQUESTING THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CHIEF INSURANCE COMMISSIONER AND THE STATE CONSUMER ADVOCATE, TO INVESTIGATE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANIES DOING BUSINESS IN THIS STATE IN THEIR THIRD PARTY PRACTICES AND TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO BRING THESE PRACTICES TO AN END AND TO RECOVER CERTAIN FUNDS.
Whereas, certain property and casualty insurance companies doing business in this State, in their third party practices, have restricted trade and freedom of choice and have thereby affected the State's economic interest in a negative manner; and
Whereas, these practices, being so harmful as they are, must be stopped, and the Attorney General, in conjunction with the Chief Insurance Commissioner and the State Consumer Advocate, should act as quickly and as forcefully as possible to investigate and to end these activities and to recover any funds which may have been received out-of-state. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the House of Representatives, by this resolution, requests the State Attorney General, in conjunction with the Chief Insurance Commissioner and the State Consumer Advocate, to investigate property and casualty insurance companies doing business in this State in their third party practices and to bring these practices to an end and recover any funds that were received out-of-state.
Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Attorney General, the Chief Insurance Commissioner, and the State Consumer Advocate.
