An Act relative to insurance.


            PREAMBLE.  Whereas, the deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is forthwith to overrule the courts’ interpretation of section 11 of chapter 93A, therefore, it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

                Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

SECTION 1.  Section 11 of said chapter 93A, as so appearing, is hereby amended by inserting after the word “provided” in the first sentence, the following words, “regardless of whether such persons are engaged in trade or commerce with each other.”
