AUSTIN - Gov. Preston
Smith is threatening a special
legislative session on insurance
reform.
In a statewide, televised
speech, he announced he will
ask the Legislature to abolish
the paid, three-member State
Insurance Board, which he
charges is company dominated.
Angered by Senate rejection
July 7 of his longtime friend,
Larry Teaver, to the Board,
Smith blamed the defeat on the
"powerful insurance lobby."
His recommendations to
"completely reorganize and
reform the regulation of the
insurance industry" will be
j.ii..-. a
tO li SptCidl >9GOoiOii
this year or to the next regular
session in January.
Reaction to his speech, the
Governor said, will determine
whether he goes through with
the special session call. He feels
reorganization of the Board can
be achieved only in a limited
special session, but he isn't sure
whether the public yet supports
reform strongly enough to in-
sure action.
Dallas Sen. Oscar Mauzy, a
leader in the move to reject
Teaver, challenged Smith to
follow through and call the
session immediately. He said he
opposed Teaver, not because he
was a consumer advocate on the
Board, but for "lack of
character and ability."
Smith in his tv speech an-
nounced 19 vetoes of items
totalling $6.35 million from the
1973 appropriations bill.
Among the vetoed items:
funds to acquire facilities for an
A & I University center at
Corpus Christi; a legislative
scheme to thwart construction
of a new highway building near
the capitol by forcing creation
of a state "garden park" on the
site; $1 million for a Fort Worth
state school and $1.22 million for
new branch junior college in
Coleman, Lubbock, Haskell and
Palestine.
$200 MILLION TAX NEED
SEEN — The House Revenue
and Taxation Committee
received advice the Legislature
may be looking at a $200 million
money shortage for the next
biennium when it reports next
year.
James McGrew, Texas
Research League director, told
the Committee spending from
general revenue and other key
state funds will jump $700
million over the present level
next biennium. But he figured
an additional $375 to $400 million
in revenue is anticipated from
present "growth" taxes, and a
$100 million federal welfare
windfall is foreseeable.
The Committee also was
reminded repeatedly of the
likely effect of a federal court
decision (now on appeal)
holding the present method of
financing public schools by ad
valorem taxation un-
constitutional. And a University
of Texas official suggested
property, income and sales
taxes are all necessary to get
"maximum equity" in the tax
system.
Governor Smith strongly
disagreed with McGrew's
forecast and said there is a
strong possibility no new taxes
at all will be needed next year.
COURTS SPEAK - The
Supreme Court reconsidered
and agreed to hear arguments
next October in a controversy in
which the wife of a Wichita
Falls doctor was granted a
divorce settlement which in-
cluded a $40,000 community
property right in his medical
practice.
In other cases, the High Court
concluded:
A city can cut off water
service for failure of residents
to pay a garbage collection fee.
Child support payments
should be lowered for a once-
wealthy father who lost his
money on the stock market.
The Court of Criminal Ap-
peals said criminal trials should
be interrupted when it becomes
apparent a defendant is men-
tally imcompetent. The same
Court said prosecutors have a
right to question defendants
about alleged threats to wit-
nesses.
INST TRANCE CUT URGED
— An 11 percent average
statewide cut in private
passenger car insurance has
been recommended to the State
Insurance Board.
Board member Ned Price
said the rat*? reduction — which
could save more than $68
million — probably will be
made by the Board by mid-
August, effective September 1.
Proposed reductions amount
to an average 8.2 percent on
liability coverage and 14.S
percent in collision and com-
prehensive coverage.
Industry spokesmen said the
reduction — credited to lower
accident claims—is amazing in
view of rising medical and
repair costs.
Dallas Sen. Mike McKool
claimed the reduction could
have been greater — "at least
20 percent."
Board members also
reviewed a modified no-fault
auto insurance plan known as
lha "noHnnal jnliirt' nrntacHrai
