A state Senate panel Wednesday chose between two House-passed bills aimed at reducing auto insurance rates at the cost of reducing the chances people with injuries can win compensation in Louisiana courts.
On a party line vote, the Senate Judiciary A committee backed the legislation sponsored by House Speaker Clay Schexnayder, then sidelined the latest version of the Omnibus Premium Reduction Act of 2020 – a measure that has been at the center of debate for the past two years.
