Florida's auto insurance no-fault law expired today, ending automatic personal injury protection for the state's citizens, and Gov. Charlie Crist reacted by saying he would have legislators take up the issue when they meet on Wednesday.
Gov. Crist called for the insurance matter to be part of the special session that begins then. Originally scheduled just for budget issues, the session is due to run through Oct. 12.
"Personal injury protection insurance is very important to the people of Florida, and $10,000 in coverage provides a minimum safeguard," said Gov. Crist. "I am encouraging members of the House and Senate to reach consensus and ensure the continuation of this important consumer protection."
