The bill reduces current liability coverage requirements for property carriers from $750,000 to $50,000 per person, $100,000 per incident for death and bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage for passenger cars, motorcycles, autocycles, and vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 7,500 pounds or less.

This is a transcript of the video clips in which this bill is discussed.
Sen. Scott Surovell (D-Mount Vernon): FEEDBACK YOU GET, THE BETTER YOUR RANKING, THE MORE LIKELY THEY ARE TO USE YOU AGAIN. YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE INCENTIVIZED TO MAKE THESE DELIVERIES ON TIME, AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, GET AS MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK AS POSSIBLE, WHATEVER IT IS, DRIVING AROUND WITH A PIZZA IN THE BACK OF THEIR CAR, A PACKAGE IN THE BACK OF THEIR CAR, SOME THING IN THE BACK OF THEIR CAR. THEY WILL BE IN A BIG HURRY TO GET THAT THERE ON TIME. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE GET IN A HURRY? THEY HIT PEOPLE. THEY HIT CARS, THEY HIT PEOPLE, THEY HIT BIKES, THEY HURT PEOPLE THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WE'RE GIVING A LESSER LIMIT OF INSURANCE TO ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET INTO COLLISIONS. YET WE ARE PUTTING IN CODE A POLICY THAT SAYS THEY SHOULD CARRY LESS COVERAGE. AND THAT CONCERNS ME, MR. PRESIDENT. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE SEEN SOMETHING AGAIN AND AGAIN. WE KEEP VOTING FOR IMMUNITY. WE KEEP VOTING FOR LOWER INSURANCE. I WILL TELL YOU, EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU PUSH A GREEN BUTTON FOR IMMUNITY, OR A GREEN BUTTON FOR INSURANCE, ALL YOU ARE DOING IS SHIFTING RESPONSIBILITY. YOU ARE SHIFTING RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE PERSON WHO CAUSED IT, OR THE CORPORATION WHO ENABLED IT, THE BUSINESS WHO CAUSED IT, YOU ARE SHIFTING IT OVER TO THE PERSON WHO IS HURT, THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN, YOU ARE SHIFTING IT OVER TO OUR MEDICAID SYSTEM, OUR TAXPAYERS. AND THAT'S JUST NOT A POLICY -- FOR THAT MATTER, YOU ARE SHIFTING IT TO BANKRUPTCY LAWYERS, BECAUSE WHEN THESE PEOPLE GET HURT AND THEIR LIVES GET ALTERED, THAT'S OFTEN WHERE THEY END UP, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET FULLY COMPENSATED FOR NOT ONLY THEIR MEDICAL BILLS, BUT FOR THEIR
