Car insurance: As car insurance rates soar, New Jersey lawmakers are being pushed to pass a bill that would ban insurers from setting rates using factors not associated with their driving history, like credit score and education level. Critics of the practice call it discriminatory, while insurers say banning it would add risk and lead more drivers to pay higher rates. The Senate’s commerce committee heard witnesses testify on the bill Monday but did not vote on it, with the panel’s chair saying it needs revisions to win approval.

Media: Senate lawmakers discussed a bill Monday that would steer film tax credits to local media, an attempt by supporters to beef up news coverage of the Garden State. The bill would create a dedicated funding source for the New Jersey Civic Info Consortium, a nonprofit that receives state funding and awards grants to fund local journalism (the New Jersey Monitor is a recipient). “We’ve witnessed firsthand the rapid decline of local journalism. Major publications have either ceased publication or have closed. The consequences are stark: New Jersey now ranks 49th out of 50 states in terms of journalists per capita, leaving our residents without reliable local news essential to a functioning democracy,” said Lisa Sahulka, the consortium’s executive director.
