Description

Motor vehicle liability insurance coverage limits; penalty. Increases the minimum motor vehicle liability insurance coverage amounts from $25,000 to $100,000 in cases of bodily injury to or death of one person, from $50,000 to $300,000 in cases of bodily injury to or death of more than one person in any one accident, and from $20,000 to $100,000 for property damage coverage.

The penalty for violating certain requirements regarding the registration and operation of uninsured motor vehicles is increased from a Class 3 misdemeanor to a Class 1 misdemeanor. Read the Bill »
