BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — On Tuesday, Louisiana Insurance Commissioner-elect Tim Temple announced he is creating an insurance advisory council to tackle the insurance crisis.
The council’s responsibility is to make recommendations for legislative special sessions and regular sessions designed to make fundamental changes to how Louisiana works with and regulates the insurance industry, according to a news release.
