2011 Senate Bill 514

Allow less than unlimited PIP insurance

Introduced in the Senate

June 22, 2011

Introduced by Sen. Virgil Smith (D-4)

To authorize a pilot program in which auto insurance companies could offer people whose income is below 300 percent of the poverty level and live in a large county (like Wayne) policies in which the personal injury protection (PIP) coverage is less than the mandatory unlimited coverage now provided by the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (and the price would be lower as well). This mandatory PIP coverage is billed as extra assessments on auto insurance bills, and is part of the state’s no-fault vehicle insurance regime.

Referred to the Committee on Insurance
