HB 1663 Unregistered motor vehicles; requirements for insurance.

Introduced by: L. Scott Lingamfelter | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Insurance for unregistered motor vehicles.  Authorizes insurance on any motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer that is exempt from motor vehicle registration requirements to be written under a policy other than a motor vehicle insurance policy. Such registration-exempt vehicles remain exempt from the liability insurance requirements that apply to registered motor vehicles. Currently, an owner who elects to insure a registration-exempt vehicle that is designed for use on public roads must, with some exceptions, insure it under a motor vehicle insurance policy. This measure, by providing that policies covering such vehicles are exempt from the requirements applicable to motor vehicle insurance generally, allows such vehicles to be insured under a general liability policy or farm policy.
