Committee does not advance bill requiring CSI to publish insurer registry; HB0937 tabled
Summary
The committee considered HB0937, a bill that would require CSI to publish a searchable list of admitted insurance carriers and producers without advertising. Representative Carter warned implementation would be complicated; the do‑pass motion failed on a roll call and members then voted to table the bill.
The House Business and Labor committee considered House Bill 937, a bill that would require CSI to compile and publish a searchable list of all admitted insurance carriers and producers and to prohibit advertising on that list.
Representative Carter objected to advancing the bill, saying the task "is going to be a difficult thing to implement" and that the project is larger than it appears; he noted the bill’s October deadline and said he would vote no. After discussion, the committee held a roll‑call vote on the motion that HB0937 "do pass." The motion did not carry; the chair announced that "the motion to do pass does not make it through." Following that result, Representative Carter moved to table the bill; the committee voted by voice and moved HB0937 to the table.
Committee members and staff discussed a pending fiscal note during consideration; the transcript records staff looking up the fiscal note during the meeting. No fiscal estimate was finalized in the committee record and the bill’s implementation timeline and resource requirements were the primary reasons members cited for opposing advancement.
Next steps: HB0937 remains tabled in the committee record.
