Thursday, March 20th, 2014 Legislation & Regulation Risk Management

The Senate passed a bill that would make it illegal for insurance companies to deny policies or charge higher rates solely based on gun ownership. The bill passed on a 36-3 vote. Supporters have said some insurance companies would prefer not to insure gun owners and others have a different set of rates. They want to make it illegal to discriminate against citizens who are exercising their constitutional right to own firearms.
