HF 2091: Establishing a motor vehicle insurance verification program, establishing fees, providing penalties, and including effective date provisions

What it does

This bill establishes a motor vehicle insurance verification program (program) to be administered by the department of transportation (DOT). Following the appropriate competitive bidding procedures, the DOT is required to contract with a third party to act as the DOT’s designated agent for administration of the program. The bill requires the DOT to establish an advisory council to make recommendations to the DOT on the best methods and practices for implementing a real-time internet services model for insurance verification, to assist in the development of a guide for insurers detailing the data fields and other information necessary for compliance with the bill, and to provide an annual report to the DOT detailing the improvements and implementation efforts relating to insurance verification in other states for consideration in improving compliance and operations in this state.
