A Mississippi bill that would have established a homeowners insurance policyholder Bill of Rights and eliminated anti-concurrent causation (ACC) exclusions in policies has died in a Senate committee.
As reported last month by NU Online, State Senator David Baria, D-Bay St. Louis, said he introduced the measure in response to what he asserted were actions by some insurers after Hurricane Katrina that delayed the state's recovery and damaged both policyholders and the state's economy.
Julie Pulliam, spokesperson for the American Insurance Association (AIA), said Feb. 2 was the deadline for all Mississippi bills to be acted on in committee, and no action was taken on SB 2386, Sen. Baria's bill.
