A New Jersey legislative panel will take up a controversial measure Monday that would prohibit auto insurers from using motorists' jobs or education to rate them as risks.
The bill up for discussion by the Senate Commerce Committee is sponsored by its chairperson, Sen. Nia H. Gill, D-Montclair. Her spokesman, Vince Matthews said the senator believes the use of education and occupation has a racially discriminatory and disparate impact.
Insurers have voiced strong opposition to the measure.
