Crystal ball shows familiar battles ahead
Article Abstract:
The most significant market-transforming law for property and casualty insurers that is likely to be passed by the 105th Congress is one that would open up the insurance, securities, and banking markets so that greater cross-selling could occur. Other issues likely to be discussed politically in 1997 include Superfund, tort reform, national disaster legislation, urban property insurance, and the relation between state and federal insurance laws.
