Bill Summary
AN ACT To enact R.S. 32:866(I), relative to compulsory motor vehicle liability security; to provide an exception for recovery; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill enacts a new provision, R.S. 32:866(I), to Louisiana law concerning compulsory motor vehicle liability security, which requires drivers to carry insurance. The key change is that a driver will not be able to recover damages for bodily injury or property damage if their insurance coverage has lapsed for more than thirty days. This means that if a driver's insurance policy expires and they do not renew it within a 30-day grace period, they will be personally responsible for any costs associated with an accident they cause, rather than their insurance covering it.
