Damage caps reduce liability for insurers—so it’s fair to ask how industry ties may shape support for bills like SB 2166. Damage caps don’t happen in a vacuum. They reduce what victims can recover—and reduce what insurers have to pay. So when legislators with ties to the insurance industry support these kinds of bills, it’s worth asking: Who is this really protecting? Questions Who benefits financially from damage caps? How does this impact insurance payouts? Were industry stakeholders involved in drafting the bill? Should legislators with industry ties disclose that connection when voting?
