HB 384 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

MTR VEHICLE/VIOLATIONS: Extends the grace period applicable to penalties for lapse of compulsory motor vehicle liability security (EN -$216,125 RV See Note)

This bill modifies how penalties are applied to drivers in Louisiana who fail to maintain required auto insurance. It mandates that insurance companies send a warning notice to affected drivers one to five days before issuing a violation. The legislation also sets specific reinstatement fees based on whether it is a first, second, or subsequent offense, while capping the total cost for drivers over 65 at $250. Additionally, it allows drivers to avoid paying reinstatement fees if they provide proof of insurance within 60 days of receiving the notice.
