House passes major insurance, credit union bills, plus new shark-fishing rules

The state legislature hits “crossover” on May 4, a quasi-deadline for bills to pass at least one chamber of the General Assembly.

There are ways around that deadline, and it doesn’t apply to bills that deal with money, but it’s an important viability marker for policy proposals, and its approach quickens the pace of this legislative session.

In addition to bills rolling back credit union and insurance regulations, the House churned through proposals dealing with milk, shark fishing, rental rules and a process that could be used for a long-shot convention to amend the U.S. Constitution.

All these measures would have to pass the state Senate as well to become law, something that will play out over the next few months.
