How can agents get involved and assist?

Agent participation in achieving substantive tort reform is absolutely necessary. In the end, we don’t cast the votes to pass legislation. Only elected legislators do. As such, it’s important that legislators know that their constituents want substantive tort reform to become law as a way to keep insurance both available and affordable in Missouri. So, agents need to be involved in the legislative process by contacting their elected senator and representative and explaining why tort reform is needed, and urging them to vote in favor of such. Even more effective, regularly attend MAIA’s Day at the Capitol and speak with your respective legislators in person. This year’s event takes place March 5, and more information can be found to the right quick links. The event is free to MAIA members and is an opportune time to visit with legislators. [more]
