Heading: liability insurance coverage

Text: The $300,000 liability insurance coverage provision is within the regulatory power of the County. I agree with the trial judge who observed in his oral opinion that some patron may be burned or otherwise injured while using a sauna. The majority of businesses are required to carry liability insurance to cover such contingencies. Moreover, neither the due process clause nor the equal protection clause compels a legislative body to remedy all of an evil or none. United States v. Carolene Prods. Co., 304 U.S. 144, 151, 82 L.Ed. 1234, 58 S.Ct. 778 (1938). That other business operations may pose equal or greater risk of injury does not bar legislative action here. The majority agrees that this provision is well within the regulatory powers of the County. I concur.
