Pettigrew, Switzer, Tinker Owens Made InsureNet Pitch To Kansas House Transportation Committee

From The Minutes Of the Kansas House Transportation Committee Meeting 3/10/10: There being no other bill introductions the Chairman recognized the “InsurNet (sic) the Paperless Verification of Uninsured Motorists” presenters. (Attachment #1) The first presenter was Wayne Pettigrew, National Marketing Director of InSureNet. Mr. Pettigrew introduced the other consortium members with them who included Scott Bolkema, Board Member and Human Resources Department of InsureNet, Barry Switzer, Sooner Communications Group and Tinker Owens, Sooner Communications Group and Bonnie Sharp, KS
Legislative lobbyist. According to Mr. Pettigrew a couple of changes have allowed InsureNet to become available. One being a decision in 2007 that has allowed interstate and intrastate citations to be collectible in all states. He said today there are no “escapes” and the days of ignoring a citation are over. Vehicle reregistration and drivers license renewal depend on paying and clearing any fines - including those regarding insurance - from any jurisdiction. Mr. Pettigrew then introduced Dr. Jonathan Miller, President and Chairman of the Board of InsureNet. Testimony was that this system can now meet the exact needs of many divisions of government. In each state, the Departments of Motor Vehicles, Public Safety/Law Enforcement and others can be fully and professionally supported. He said this system is owned and controlled by State Government. This system is connected to over 35,000 U.S. Law Enforcement Agencies and 1.2 million officers. Dr. Miller said this product is an accurate and automatic, non-invasive bridge between insurers and governmental entities, consisting of seven data elements. He said the system is accurate, instantaneous, easy to implement and exceeds all privacy protection laws for vehicle owners and insurers. After the presentation they stood for questions. When all questions were answered the Chairman thanked the group for their presentation.

[Pettigrew and Owens are members of the board of directors of First Trinity Financial. Owens, former OU and New Orleans Saints wide receiver, is the owner of Tinker Owens Insurance in Norman.]
