Fifth insurance bill passes Legislature - Everything Alabama Blog
MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The Senate on Wednesday passed a bill that would require insurance companies to annually detail to customers what their policies do and do not cover.
House Bill 166, sponsored by Gulf Shores Republican Rep. Steve McMillan, has already passed the House and will go to Gov. Robert Bentley for his approval. The bill, dubbed the Homeowners Bill of Rights Act, is the fifth insurance overhaul proposal from south Alabama lawmakers to pass in the 2012 regular session, making this perhaps their most successful year ever on the issue.
Sen. Ben Brooks, the Mobile Republican who shepherded the bill through the Senate, said he was "pleased again" to see yet another insurance bill pass this session.
Told of the bill's passage late Wednesday night, McMillan exclaimed, "All right!"
"I think it's wonderful," McMillan said. "Just some more good consumer protection and information, and I think we can't have too much of that."
