SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Motor vehicle liability insurance coverage limits; penalty. Increases the minimum motor vehicle liability insurance coverage amounts from $25,000 to $100,000 in cases of bodily injury to or death of one person, from $50,000 to $300,000 in cases of bodily injury to or death of more than one person in any one accident, and from $20,000 to $100,000 for property damage coverage. The measure also repeals provisions that allow for the registration of uninsured motor vehicles upon payment of a $500 uninsured motor vehicle fee and that provide for disposition of such funds through the Uninsured Motorist Fund. The penalty for violating certain requirements regarding the registration and operation of uninsured motor vehicles is increased from a Class 3 misdemeanor to a Class 1 misdemeanor.
