AI Summary
This bill, cited as the "Responsible Roadways Act", proposes several changes to motor vehicle insurance requirements in Florida. Effective January 1, 2021, it repeals the state's no-fault insurance law, requires drivers to maintain minimum bodily injury and property damage liability coverage, prohibits personal injury protection (PIP) coverage from being included in new or renewed policies, and requires insurers to provide notice to policyholders about the changes. The bill also makes other related changes to proof of insurance requirements, vehicle registration, insurance discounts, and penalties for insurance fraud. Overall, the goal is to transition Florida from a no-fault auto insurance system to a traditional tort-based liability system.
