Insurance Reform Bills that were mentioned last week HB24, HB423, HB336 are pending Senate Judiciary A.

HB337 - Direct Action by Rep. Jack McFarland. This bill would repeal the current direct action statute against insurers except in specific limited circumstances. STATUS: will be up in Senate Insurance scheduled for Wednesday, April 10, at 10am. We may have some clarifying amendments for consideration during the hearing.

SB355 - Foreign funders TPLF by Sen. Jeremy Stine. This bill requires all foreign third party litigation funders to disclose specific information to the attorney general. It focuses entirely on foreign funders and does not require disclosure of the contract to other parties, thereby not providing the transparency necessary to provide balance in the legal system. STATUS: pending Senate final passage but Sen. Stine has said he will call to be rescheduled, TODAY.

HB315 also pending Senate Jud A.
