AI Analysis – Experimental

This legislation requires applicants or named insureds of personal protection insurance benefits policies, issued or renewed after July 1, 2020, to select a coverage level from options of $50,000, $250,000, $500,000, or no limit. The selection process involves completing a form that details the benefits and risks of each option, ensuring the applicant's or insured's understanding and recording their choice. If no selection is made but payment is received, the paid premium is presumed to reflect the chosen coverage level. This coverage extends to the insured, their spouse, relatives in the same household, and others entitled to benefits under the policy, with benefits capped at the highest coverage limit of one policy for individuals with multiple policies.
