Bill > HB06130

This bill proposes to update Connecticut's automobile insurance requirements by increasing the minimum financial responsibility coverage for motor vehicles and mandating medical payment coverage. Specifically, the bill raises the minimum liability insurance coverage from the current levels to $100,000 for bodily injury to any one person and $300,000 for bodily injury to multiple people in a single accident. Additionally, the bill requires automobile liability insurance policies to include at least $5,000 in medical payment coverage, with a provision that allows policyholders to waive this medical coverage if they can provide proof of existing health insurance. These changes aim to ensure that drivers have more comprehensive financial protection in the event of an automobile accident, covering both potential liability for injuries to others and medical expenses for the policyholder. The bill represents an update to existing state insurance regulations to reflect potentially higher medical costs and provide more robust financial protection for drivers.
