HB 104 Original 2020 Regular Session Wilford Carter
Abstract: Repeals the prohibition of recovery for the first $15,000 for bodily injury claims and the
first $25,000 for property damage claims when the claimant fails to maintain the minimum
required motor vehicle liability coverage.
Present law provides for compulsory motor vehicle liability security and provides for minimum
required coverage ($15,000 for bodily injury and $25,000 for property).
Present law provides penalties for failure to maintain the minimum required coverage, including
prohibiting recovery for the first $15,000 for bodily injury claims and the first $25,000 for property
damage claims.
Proposed law repeals the prohibition from recovery for failure to maintain the minimum required
coverage.
