The amendment was supported by insurance industry associations.

Christian Rataj, western state affairs manager for the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC), said the bill was initially introduced as a health insurance matter. "And then someone just decided in the Legislature to add auto," he said. "That was what perplexed NAMIC and others in the industry."
