High
School lobbyists concerned about car insurance
ISSUE: Car insurance premiums
BACKGROUND: High school students at St. Bernard’s School
were frustrated with the high cost of insurance premiums which
some students were paying themselves.
PROJECT STEPS
- Researching insurance premiums in Minnesota and other
states
- Presenting to legislators at the Senate Commerce Committee
at the capitol
- Participating in a press conference at the
school about the efforts to reform Minnesota’s no-fault
insurance law
- Sending letters to legislators who voted again
the repeal (several hundred letters)
RESULT: The effort to reform or repeal Minnesota’s no-fault insurance
did not pass in the senate committee, but the students are not giving up. They
plan to continue with their effort to push for change at the capitol. |
