Tweetable Quotes:

• “I tell people all the time, this is not a gray area. It is required by the rules that if entities share common majority ownership that they be combined. And NCCI has rules about what happens if they aren’t appropriately combined.” – Kevin Ring
• “If I own a flower shop, and I own a dynamite manufacturing facility, and both of those are based in NCCI states, they are going to share an experience mod. It does not matter that they’re on two different policies. And it doesn’t have to be just a single person. It can be, you know, a collection of people.” – Kevin Ring
• “You’ve got a business, their experience mods are a dumpster fire. And so they ask, ‘Well, can I just start another company and move everything over there and start over with 1.0?’ And the answer is no.” – Kevin Ring
