Briscoe Endorses Lower Car Insurance Rate Bill
AUSTIN Gov. Dolph Bris
coe strongly endorsed a competi
tive car insurance rate bill Mon
day and flatly predicted it would
cut the cost of automobile poli
cies.
Briscoe said he would declare
enactment of the compromise bill
a matter of legislative emergency,
clearing away a few minor par
liamentary hurdles.
"This bill retains the best fea
tures of our current system of
State Insurance board approval
and standard automobile policies
and is strongly oriented toward
consumer protection,” Briscoe
said at a news conference in his
reception room.
"It provides for competitive
rates. It protects against insur
ance company insolvency. And it
will lower automobile insurance
rates in Texas.”
The bill would require the
board to continue setting rates
each year, based on the combined
premiums and losses of all of the
more than 300 companies writing
car insurance in Texas.
But a company could apply to
the board to deviate above or be
low the standard rates. The board
would have to allow the deviations
if they met criteria of fairness
to consumers and financial sta
bility of companies.
After some discussion, Briscoe
was asked if he would like to
qualify his prediction and merely
say he hoped it would reduce
rates.
“No. ... I am confident it
will lower insurance rates,” he
said.
Standing at Briscoe’s side were
insurance board Chairman Joe
Christie and the House and Sen
ate sponsors of the bill: Sens.
Oscar Mauzy, D-Dallas, and H. J.
“Doc” Blanchard, D-Lubbock, and
Reps. Don Cavness, D-Austin, and
Ben Bynum, D-Amarillo.
Cavness and Bynum have been
pushing for a pure rate compe
tition bill, with companies setting
their own rates without any prior
approval requirement.
Ae recently as Friday night
Cavness had flatly rejected a
prior approval system proposed
by Christie.
The compromise was worked
out over the weekend at meetings
between Cavness, Bynum, Christie
and Insurance Commissioner Clay
Cotton.
Asked if he was the motivating
force behind the compromise, Bris
coe said:
“I asked Sen. Christie to work
with the members of the legisla
ture to reach the point where we
are now.”
Cavness said earlier he talked
with Briscoe by telephone during
the weekend negotiating sessions.
“What the governor expressed
to me was that he wanted a change
in the law that would, within rea
sonable controls, allow as much
flexibility to the companies as
possible, with the general public
getting the advantage of better
rates,” he said.
Bynum, chairman of the House
Insurance Committee, said that
panel would consider the measure
Tuesday night. Committee approv
al would clear the measure for
House floor action.
Christie also said he would
hold a news conference Tuesday
to announce a board decision that
would permit immediate cuts in
fire and homeowners insurance
rates.
Under present law, a company
can charge a different rate from
the standard rate set by the board,
but the board must approve a de
viation before it can take effect.
Several years ago, the board made
a policy decision not to grant any
deviations. Christie is expected to
announce an end to that policy.
The legislature came close to
passing a competitive car and
home insurance bill at a special
session last year. But the 30-day
expiration date arrived before the
House and Senate could negotiate
a compromise. Former Gov. Pres
ton Smith called the session and
recommended rate competition as
