2002 Senate Bill 1164 ↩

Senate Roll Call 886: Passed

To limit the personal protection benefits under no-fault auto insurance (unlimited bodily injury benefits paid for by MCCA assessments on auto insurance bills) to $300,000 if the injured individual is not a resident of Michigan. A nonresident could sue to recover economic losses in excess of $300,000 that are not covered by any other benefits, which Michigan residents are not allowed (or required) to do. The bill also incorporates into the bill provisions of Senate Bill 1125, which establihes that the state insurance commissioner has sole jurisdiction to determine whether an insurer has an appropriate level of excess capital and surplus.
