An Act to add a compulsory death benefit to automobile liability insurance

This bill would require automobile liability insurance policies in Massachusetts to include a minimum death benefit of $100,000 for accidents resulting in the death of a person survived by a minor child, spouse, or dependent parent. The provision specifically ensures that this payout amount cannot be reduced by any liens or claims against the policy. It directly affects insurance providers and drivers who carry liability coverage, mandating a higher financial floor for fatal accidents involving certain family members.
