The Insurers Swap Bill
Texas bill lets insurers swap policies, adds new fees
Relating to the transfer and statutory novation of insurance policies from a transferring insurer to an assuming insurer through an insurance business transfer plan; authorizing fees.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, insurers could move your policy to another company and pay a state fee, while the state watches the switch.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should watch this bill because it could let big insurers change who holds their coverage without much input, and the added fees might be passed to policyholders.
