What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance administers the state life insurance fund (fund). The fund may issue any type of life insurance policy, with a limit not exceeding $10,000, to a state resident. Premiums are paid into the fund and net profits are distributed annually among policyholders. The state is not liable for any obligation of the fund.

This bill increases the maximum limit on a life insurance policy that may be issued by the fund from $10,000 to $75,000. In addition, the bill requires the commissioner of insurance, who is the fund manager, to adjust the maximum limit amount annually, beginning in 2011, by the annual change in the consumer price index and to publish the adjusted amount in the Wisconsin Administrative Register.
