Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 1293 introduces a requirement for insurance policies to include coverage for damages from not only uninsured motor vehicles but also underinsured motor vehicles. This means that if you are in an accident with a driver whose insurance isn't enough to cover your damages, your own insurance will help make up the difference, as long as the vehicle is considered underinsured. The amendment also ensures a minimum coverage amount of $20,000 for property damage in any accident. This change is significant as it provides drivers with better financial protection against insufficient coverage from other drivers.
