Insurance Agents Honor Jolley, Peterson

The Independent Insurance Agents of Oklahoma (IIAO) today recognized two state legislators for their support of issues of importance to independent agents.

Senator Clark Jolley of Edmond was presented the 2008 State Senator of the Year Award in recognition of his leadership in passing legislation allowing Oklahoma businesses who operate in other states, and who are insured by CompSource Oklahoma, to be properly protected. The legislation gives Oklahoma employers the ability to protect employees who sustain injuries while working in other states.

Rep. Ron Peterson of Broken Arrow was presented the inaugural Legislative Award for Courage in recognition of his firm opposition to legislation imposing unfunded mandates on health insurance policies.
