Bill > S782

Introduced Session

This bill repeals the compulsory no-fault automobile insurance law; changes the requirement for bodily injury and property damage liability insurance to at least $100,000 on account of injury to or death of one person and $200,000 on account of injury to or death of more than one person; and makes uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage compulsory, in the same amounts or limits as an insured's motor vehicle liability insurance coverage. With respect to uninsured and underinsured motor vehicle insurance, the bill requires claims disputes to be settled through binding arbitration. Additionally, the bill repeals the mandatory arbitration of certain automobile insurance claims in the courts, the take-all-comers law which requires insurers to insure all "good" drivers who apply, and the basic and special automobile insurance policies. Technical amendments to various statutory provisions to conform with these substantive reforms are accomplished by the bill, as well.
