Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco vetoed a measure opposed by insurers that would have more than doubled the state's required minimum auto insurance coverage limits.

SB 223 would have raised the limits to $25,000 for bodily injury liability for one person, $50,000 for bodily injury liability for two or more persons injured in any one accident, and $25,000 for property damage liability.

The current limits are $10,000 for bodily injury, $20,000 for two or more persons injured, and $10,000 for property damage liability.
