Bill Summary
This bill prohibits a motor vehicle liability insurance policy from restricting the amount that may be recovered under the policy. Under the bill, a motor vehicle liability insurance policy will be prohibited from restricting the amount that may be recovered under the policy, whether the person is a permissive user, named insured, listed driver, resident relative, or passenger, other than the maximum recovery limit provided in the policy for bodily injury liability, property damage liability, and uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. The bill also provides that a policy will be deemed to provide the maximum bodily injury liability, property damage liability, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage available under the policy, to any insured individual, regardless of whether the individual is an additional named insured under that policy or is a named insured, or is covered under any other policy providing bodily injury liability, property damage liability and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits motor vehicle liability insurance policies from limiting the amount that can be recovered under the policy for bodily injury, property damage, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, regardless of whether the person is a named insured, listed driver, resident relative, passenger, or permissive user (someone allowed to drive the insured vehicle). The bill clarifies that a policy will be considered to provide the maximum available coverage to any insured individual, even if they are not the primary policyholder or are covered by other policies. This change aims to ensure that all individuals covered by a policy receive the full benefit of the coverage limits established within that policy.
