Bill > HB347

This bill amends the Mississippi Uninsured Motorist Act to provide coverage for claims involving vehicles owned or operated by a person or entity protected by immunity under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act (MTCA). Specifically, the bill adds language to the existing law to clarify that uninsured motorist coverage applies to situations where the insured would be legally entitled to recover damages for bodily injury, death, or property damage, even if the other party is immune from liability under the MTCA. This change ensures that individuals with uninsured motorist coverage can still recover damages in situations where the at-fault party is a governmental entity or employee protected by MTCA immunity.
