States Enact Auto Bills

Auto insurance was the topic of most of the 281 property and casualty-related bills enacted by state legislatures around the country last year, according to National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies.

“Twenty-seven states approved 59 new motor vehicle insurance laws, the majority of which pertain directly to driving under the influence, seat belt or child safety standards, and proof of insurance requirements,” said Ken Marshall, NAMIC state affairs information manager. “This trend is clearly in line with our new-law findings from recent years.”
