Bill Summary

Citing this act as the "Responsible Roadways Act"; providing that motor vehicle liability policies issued or renewed after a specified date may not include personal injury protection; increasing the minimum required limits of bodily injury and property damage liability coverages for proof of financial responsibility; providing that, under certain third-party claims, a motor vehicle liability insurer is not liable beyond available policy limits if it meets certain conditions; repealing provisions which comprise the Florida Motor Vehicle No-Fault Law, etc.

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.
