Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 63-15-43, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Require Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Policies To Include Medical Payment Coverage; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to require that all motor vehicle liability insurance policies, which are insurance policies certified to prove financial responsibility for operating a vehicle, must now include medical payment coverage. This medical payment coverage, often referred to as "MedPay," helps pay for medical expenses for the policyholder and their passengers, regardless of who is at fault in an accident. The bill mandates that this medical payment coverage must be at least $10,000. This change aims to ensure that individuals involved in motor vehicle accidents have a baseline level of medical expense coverage provided by their insurance policies.
