But the Massachusetts insurance regulatory authorities are closely studying auto insurance reforms in the Palmetto State adopted in 1999 as a model for greater competition in the state of self-assurance.
South Carolina’s insurance commissioner, Ernst CSISZAR, met with officials Division of Insurance last week in Boston, and a task force appointed by you, Mitt Romney, to seek ways for reform Public Service of insurance self-satisfied with the system’s first launch.
