Insurance Reform Update

16 Jul 2021 8:21 AM | Anonymous

I have promising news to report this today. Legislation is being written in Lansing to correct a few of the challenges that prevent insurance companies from writing more affordable policies in Michigan. This will increase the number of insurance companies willing to do business in Michigan, creating a competitive insurance landscape. Now is the time your help is needed. Attached you will find an outline of the changes we are looking for from our state legislators, in order to allow our companies to thrive in Michigan. Review the document and begin contacting your local State of Michigan representatives so they fully understand how current Michigan Commercial Insurance Laws are affecting your business, employees, and local economy. Don’t be dismayed if they are not fully informed of the changes coming down the pike. The insurance committee has not yet introduced the bill to the governing body; they are still working on a solid plan. If you have questions about the talking points, please send an email to michiganptc@gmail.com.
This segues into the next bit of exciting information I have to share with you. The Michigan Passenger Transportation Coalition (MPTC)has been created to allow us to all share information and be on the front side of issues that effect our businesses and industry. The plan is for the MPTC to be a fully functional, impactful association that will always fight for our industry. Right now, the sole focus of the MPTC is to bring about change to commercial insurance for passenger transportation. It is no secret that these efforts take money, a great deal of money. The firm, GCSI, has been engaged to lead our fight. They have made amazing progress and it comes at a price. We must raise $65,000.00 to continue. That covers the contractual agreement with for the insurance reform and the very modest administrative costs of the website.
