Bill Summary

An Act to increase the amounts required in a motor vehicle liability policy.

AI Summary

This bill amends South Dakota Codified Law § 32-35-70 to increase the minimum required amounts for motor vehicle liability insurance policies. Specifically, it raises the coverage from $25,000 to $50,000 for bodily injury or death to one person in an accident, from $50,000 to $100,000 for bodily injury or death to two or more persons in an accident, and from $25,000 to $50,000 for damage to the property of others in an accident. These changes ensure that drivers have higher financial protection in case of accidents, with the "Division of Insurance" being the state agency responsible for approving policy forms and filings.
