Legislative regular session through Jun. 16

NOTE: HB 678, which started out originally as a bill that would provide monetary incentive for insurers to write policies in the state through a state subsidy program, was amended to bring in the idea behind SB 195, privatizing homeowners insurance written by the state. As such, the bill now merits placement into the Good category.
