HB NO. 430
Present law (R.S. 32:900(A)) provides that a "Motor Vehicle Liability Policy" means an
owner's or operator's policy of liability insurance certified under present law is issued by an
insurance carrier duly authorized to transact business in this state.
Proposed law provides an exception to present law that allows for an owner of a vehicle
registered in this state who obtains a valid motor vehicle liability policy issued in another
state by an insurer with the same company name as an insurance carrier that is authorized
to issue automobile insurance in this state to have his policy be deemed valid proof of
financial responsibility.
