BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Bill seeks to provide exempt medical coverage to farmers

February 13, 2023 Reprints

A bill in the Missouri State Senate would allow for the Missouri Farm Bureau to provide medical coverage to farmers without requiring it to be classified as insurance, reports the Fulton Sun. Although there was support for Senate Bill 11, sponsored by Sen. Sandy Crawford, R-Buffalo, competing insurance companies cried "foul" in a Missouri Senate hearing late last month. The bill is modeled after a similar program in Tennessee, where the state's chapter of the Farm Bureau was granted an exemption in the 1990s to regulations around providing health insurance.
