At a hearing in Boston today, the American Insurance Association called on Massachusetts Insurance Commissioner Nonnie Burnes to institute a change in the state's auto insurance rating system.

John Murphy, AIA vice president-Northeast Region, urged a move to a competitive model. AIA's comments were presented in testimony at a hearing called by the commissioner on whether to move to competition or maintain the "fix and establish" system.

Under Massachusetts law, competitive rating was "temporarily suspended" 30 years ago. Each year since, a hearing has been held to determine whether to continue with fix and establish or move to competition.
