A Republican-led state House committee has approved a proposal that would change Michigan’s auto insurance coverage requirements for people injured in accidents.
The House Insurance Committee approved the measure Thursday mostly along party lines, setting up the measure for a vote on the House floor.
Michigan now is the only state in the nation that mandates uncapped medical benefit coverage for people seriously injured in auto accidents. The new proposals instead would offer motorists less expensive insurance in exchange for limited personal injury protection coverage.
The new proposal would offer a range of coverage options from $500,000 to $5 million. Supporters say motorists should have options for coverage
Opponents say motorists opting for less coverage could wind up underinsured and in financial trouble if they’re seriously injured in an accident.
