Everyone: I am forwarding an email from Fred Dudley regarding a bad faith insurance bill that has been introduced. Please review and provide us any comment you may have. Fred, what sort of time-frame do you need comments by ? Thanks, Cary From: fred.dudley@hklaw.com [mailto:fred.dudley@hklaw.com] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 8:28 AM To: Wright, Wm. Cary Cc: Pence, Scott Subject: Senate Bill 1284 This "bad faith" insurance bill was filed last Thursday by Senator Thrasher, an attorney and chair of the Senate Rules Committee. I thought our committee should be aware of this and perhaps solicit comments from our members. ________________________________ ****IRS CIRCULAR 230 DISCLOSURE: TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY THE IRS, WE INFORM YOU THAT ANY TAX ADVICE CONTAINED IN THIS COMMUNICATION (INCLUDING ANY ATTACHMENTS) IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN BY HOLLAND & KNIGHT LLP TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF (I) AVOIDING TAX-RELATED PENALTIES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, OR (II) PROMOTING, MARKETING, OR RECOMMENDING TO ANOTHER PARTY ANY TAX-RELATED MATTER HEREIN.**** ________________________________ NOTE: This e-mail is from a law firm, Holland & Knight LLP ("H&K"), and is intended solely for the use of the individual(s) to whom it is addressed.
