Let’s end Oregon insurance companies exemption from Oregon consumer protection laws

Great KOIN-6 News report here KOIN-6 Iteam Hold Oregon insurers accountable highlighting the loophole that gives Oregon insurance companies a pass on Oregon’s Unlawful Trade Practice Act, our signature consumer protection law.

A pending bill, HB 3160-A would close the loophole. The bill amends the Oregon Unlawful Trade Practices Act to cover insurance companies.  Like all other Oregon businesses, insurance companies should be held to basic levels of fairness when dealing with consumers. It is time that our legislators act to rein in those insurance companies that engage in fraud and abuse.

That’s why we support HB 3160-A. You should too.
