RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 173 (SB 3) 2019 Regular Session Mizell
Prior law required motor vehicles used on highways to be covered by motor vehicle liability
security and required the registered owner of a motor vehicle to maintain the security.
New law authorizes the commissioner of the DPS&C, public safety services, office of motor
vehicles, to waive any penalty, procedure, or requirement if the motor vehicle liability
security expired or cancelled when the motor vehicle's principal driver was the registered
owner or owner's spouse or child who was in the hospital or has died, and the registered
owner presents proof of such exceptional circumstance to the commissioner.
Effective upon signature of the governor (June 11, 2019).
