The Banking and Insurance Full Committee reported S830 favorably to the full Senate after brief discussion.
Dr. Gilbert described the bill as a small technical change to allow certain nonprofit organizations to offer automobile insurance exclusively to their members. He said the change addresses a gap created by current non-discrimination statutes that recognize only professional and religious groups, preventing organizations such as AAA from offering membership-limited insurance products.
Committee members noted testimony from AAA and the Department of Insurance and said they had no objection. The chair called for a voice vote; members responded 'aye' and the committee reported S830 out unanimously.
Committee members recorded no amendments for S830 and indicated the measure will move to the full Senate for consideration.
