MTR VEHICLE/COMPULS INS: Permits the impoundment of out-of-state vehicles not covered by compulsory liability insurance

HB 174 requires out-of-state vehicles operated in Louisiana to carry bodily injury liability insurance. If an operator lacks this coverage, the vehicle may be impounded under existing law (R.S. 32:863.1(C)). The bill directly affects drivers of vehicles registered in other states who are uninsured for bodily injury while operating in Louisiana, subjecting them to vehicle impoundment and related penalties.
