Texas SB2700 mandates a study on title insurance rates in Texas and other states, assessing impacts on competition and consumer protection.

Texas SB2700 requires the Texas Department of Insurance to conduct a comprehensive study on the current rate setting system in Texas and the potential impact of alternative rate regulatory models used in other states. The study will analyze the overall cost of title insurance rates, claims, premiums, paid losses, incurred losses, expenses, investment income, and other rate factors. It will also assess the potential impact of these alternative models on market competition in the title insurance industry, including effects on consumers, title insurers, and the real estate market.
