Under pressure from consumer advocates who say an insurance initiative would raise rates for thousands of state drivers, Attorney General Jerry Brown’s office has submitted new language to describe Proposition 17 on the June ballot. Brown’s new ballot title and summary now say the measure allows insurance companies to raise auto insurance premiums on drivers based on their coverage history, according to documents submitted to the secretary of state’s office.
