BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Lawmakers in the House rejected a proposal Tuesday that sought legislative review of large rate increases for customers of Louisiana’s property insurer of last resort.

The House Insurance Committee scrapped the idea in a 9-4 vote against the bill by St. Mary Parish Sen. Bret Allain, despite a heavy rewrite that lessened its impact.
