SB 1268 by Johnson: Anti-Free Enterprise

PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Oppose
Senate Journal Page: 1634

Although well-intentioned, the state government requiring the way in which an insurance carrier handles the release for depreciation should ultimately be up to them. Their decision to use preferred contractors is also up to them. The government interjecting itself into the claims process hurts free enterprise and liberty. Bad actors will always exist, but ultimately, we must choose between liberty or government-controlled security. For this reason, TFR opposes SB 1268.
