State Insurance Legislation: 1999 Yearbook

The groundbreaking insurance legislation in property and casualty insurance, health insurance, and life insurance from the industry's most authoritative source.

What were the significant insurance legislative events of 1999? Now that all of the rumors, debate, lobbying and negotiations are over and legislators have wrapped up the last session of the twentieth century, the question remains: Do you really know what happened in 1999?

With CCH's new State Insurance Legislation: 1999 Yearbook, you will. From an expert's viewpoint, this authoritative reference summarizes the major legislation enacted in the three main fields of insurance: Property and Casualty, Health, and Life.

Thousands of pages of legislation are condensed into one convenient, user-friendly book. State Insurance Legislation shows you what was actually enacted after all of the noise died down – bills tempered by the refinements of lawmakers, lobbyists and special-interest groups, as well as legislation that passed virtually unnoticed, "in the dead of night." You can't afford to miss even one…as every insurance professional knows, the impact of a single bill can often be measured in millions of dollars.

State by state, State Insurance Legislation outlines the developments that will affect professionals involved in:
  • Insurance
  • Health Care
  • Employers and Labor Unions
  • Workers' Compensation
  • Children's and Women's Advocacy
  • Insurance, Tort and Environmental Law
