    One small problem. The Federal Arbitration Act. Any state law (or rule) that is hostile to arbitration fails. Insurance is obviously interstate commerce.

    This sounds more like a back door proposal from the trial attorneys.

      Actually, there is a way around the federal law.

        The McCarran-Ferguson Act exempts the business of insurance from most federal regulation.
