Insurance associations are up in arms again over the recent request of lawmakers that the California Supreme Court review the use of ZIP codes in rating auto policies.

Senator Jackie Speier has also joined the petition. “If territorial rating is banned, the hardening market we’ve been watching slowly approach will slam down on us like a guillotine blade,” opined a recent Alliance newsletter. Insurers say changing the rating factors will result in dramatic rate increases.
