HCR 120 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

INSURANCE/AUTOMOBILE: Requests the Department of Insurance to study and make recommendations with respect to eliminating the state requirement for motor vehicle insurance and the approaches taken by other states with minimal or noncompulsory requirements

This bill asks the Louisiana Department of Insurance to form a task force that studies whether the state should stop requiring drivers to carry auto insurance. The study will also look at how other states handle insurance rules, such as allowing people to self-insure or pay a fee instead of buying coverage. The task force will include representatives from insurance companies, consumer groups, and other organizations, and it must submit a written report with its findings and recommendations by February 1, 2025. This resolution does not change any laws right now but sets up a group to gather information and suggest possible future changes to the state's insurance requirements.
