Utah: 2010 Legislative Session Like Trial-Lawyer-Sponsored Reality Show on New Legislation Designed to Facilitate Filing of Frivolous Insurance Lawsuits
Sen. Gene Davis introduced legislation Feb. 25 that will add a private civil cause of action to the current Unfair Claim Settlement Practices Insurance Code (31A-26-303). The bill was fast-tracked and promptly passed out of Senate Rules Committee, then passed out of Senate Business Labor Committee March 1 on a 5-0-2 vote.
