Henry Burns HB No. 71
Abstract: Requires law enforcement officers to determine compliance with the requirements of
the Compulsory Motor Vehicle Liability Security law.
Present law requires law enforcement officers to determine if the owner or lessee of each motor
vehicle stopped at an administrative violations checkpoint, motor vehicle accidents, or in
connection with an alleged violation of the law has evidence of the required compulsory motor
vehicle liability security contained in the vehicle.
Proposed law retains present law and further requires law enforcement officers to verify within
their capability that such documents, evidencing that the motor vehicle is compliant, are current.
