Ceremonial Signing of SB 567
In an historic formal bill signing ceremony June 7, 2011, Gov. Rick Perry visited with NAIFA-Texas leaders, discussing topics ranging from Aggie baseball to Texas history/traditions and wind powered energy/job opportunities.
Senate Bill 567 was the only bill which sponsor Sen. Tommy Williams requested a formal signing and photo op. At the last minute Sen. Williams had to return home on business and asked his colleague Sen. Robert Duncan to represent him. S.B. 567 increases consumer protections for annuities from $100,000 to $250,000 effective Sept. 1, 2011.
Representing NAIFA-Texas at the bill signing event at the Capitol were membership co-chair Karen Easterling, trustee Jason Talley, trustee Lane Boozer, Texas IFAPAC officer Robin Johnston, incoming president-elect Doug Massey, and CEO/Chief Legislative Officer Des Taylor.
