Since its formation in 2019, Securing Our Future has played a key role in advocating on a number of critical issues that impact consumers in states across the nation.
Thanks in part to dedicated advocates like you, we’ve seen real results on the issues impacting the safety and security of all Americans. Below is a quick overview of some key wins in 2023 and 2024.
LOUISIANA MAKES CRITICAL REFORMS IN 2024
Critical wins were secured in Louisiana thanks to the efforts of Securing Our Future advocates.
A legislative proposal that includes clarification of the state’s good faith and fair claims handling statutes was enacted this year. Additionally, Governor Landry signed HB 337, the direct actions reform bill, and SB 355, an amended third party litigation funding bill. While there is still work to be done, critical steps were made to protect Louisianians.
A WIN FOR VIRGINIANS IN 2024
Securing Our Future advocates in Virginia sent over 4,000 letters to their legislators and Governor Youngkin.
Their engagement helped to secure crucial amendments to Senate Bill 256 in Virginia. Although we had hoped for a full veto of this legislation by the Governor due to concerns of the potential rise in frivolous lawsuits and consumer premiums, the voice of Securing Our Future advocates contributed to significant improvements to being made to bill, including reducing the award amount in bad faith lawsuits.
Oregon Advocates
Securing Our Future advocates in Oregon helped prevent two bad faith bills from passing in 2023, sending over 15,000 letters and placing thousands of calls lawmakers urging them to oppose the deeply flawed legislation.
These efforts helped generate enough opposition to prevent these bills from passing—a huge win for Oregon families and small businesses at risk of costly premium hikes.
