Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed into law a revised no-fault auto insurance statute today restoring the requirement that motorists carry personal injury protection coverage.

The measure, which does not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2008, takes the place of the original no-fault PIP law that sunset Oct. 1.

Drivers are required to purchase $10,000 in personal injury protection, and the measure contains provisions aimed at preventing fraud–which a state grand jury had found was prevalent under the old statute.
