How Southern Calif. Fires Can Affect National, Local Pricing <https://www.law360.com/competition/articles/2298680?nl_pk=6e763a2a-9f82-44c…> The fire-related California state of emergency declared last month in Los Angeles and Ventura counties triggered laws around price-gouging and pricing restrictions that affect not just individuals and businesses in the state, but also nationwide, meaning sellers should be mindful of how price changes are discussed and rolled out, say attorneys at Proskauer.

Fwd: Do you need a DOGE? [ITNY News]
by Gunnar Larson 20 Feb '25

20 Feb '25

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: David Gritz <david(a)insurtechny.org> Date: Thu, Feb 20, 2025, 2:22 AM Subject: Do you need a DOGE? [ITNY News] To: <g(a)xny.io> [image: News 39 DOGE] Famously named after a meme cryptocurrency, the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has converted an apolitical tech service - US Digital Service - into a ‘digital strike team’ attracting a firestorm of attention. That raises the question: do insurers need their version of DOGE? Data says maybe. Per Conning, non-commission expense ratios have barely budged since 1977 (data below). And, last we checked, we have better technology today. Insurers must ruthlessly question what is necessary to deliver underwriting performance and quality claims service. If you are looking for ideas on how to do this, we have just the place - InsurTech Spring Conference. Find your best ideas with panels on the Impact of AI on Pricing, The Next Gen Carrier Model, the Next Phase of Automated Underwriting, and Predicting Claims Behavior with Analytics.
