Amend HB 1662, in SECTION 1 of the bill, in Section 3,
Article 5.101, Insurance Code, by striking Subsection (r) (page 1,
lines 12 through 24, committee printing), and inserting the
following:
      "(r)  In order to avoid the circumvention of the flexible
rating program, and notwithstanding the provisions of Article
17.22(b), a county mutual insurer is prohibited from writing
private passenger automobile insurance for any risk at a rate,
after applying all applicable discounts and policy fees, which is
lower than the highest rate allowed under the flexibility band for
that line.  From the effective date of each benchmark rate, a
county mutual shall have sixty (60) days to make any filing
necessary to comply with this subsection and its rates in effect on
the effective date of the benchmark rate shall continue in effect
until such filing.  The limitation in this subsection shall not
apply to single interest insurance or insurance on mobile homes,
motor homes, travel trailers, or motorcycles."
