Motor vehicle insurance
MOTOR VEHICLE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY – Amends existing law to provide for certain electronic filing and a fee waiver and to revise provisions regarding the online insurance verification system.

RS30535 / H0284

This legislation repeals the fees for release of liability for vehicle titles. Insurers will need to report via the online insurance verification system at least weekly. Initial notices will be sent to owners of motor vehicles who have not established or maintained financial responsibility (liability insurance) for two consecutive months. Vehicle owners will have 60 days to comply. Following this, a final notice will give the recipient 10 days to correct the requirement of financial responsibility or notify the department of an exemption. This legislation asks insurance companies to voluntarily submit data indicating that a vehicle’s insurance has been lawfully suspended because the vehicle has been placed in storage.
