PERSONAL PROTECTION: NONRESIDENT - S.B. 1164: COMMITTEE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 1164 (as introduced 2-28-02)
Sponsor: Senator Bill Bullard, Jr.
Committee: Financial Services
Date Completed: 3-11-02
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Insurance Code to exempt certain nonresidents from personal protection automobile insurance benefits.
The bill specifies that personal protection insurance benefits would not be payable if the injured individual were a nonresident of Michigan and, under an automobile insurance policy issued under the Code, were not a named insured, the spouse of the insured, or a relative of either domiciled in the same household.
Under the Code, an insurer authorized to transact automobile liability insurance and personal and property protection insurance in the State must file and maintain a written certification that any accidental bodily injury or property damage occurring in the State, and arising from the ownership, operation, or use of a motor vehicle by an out-of-State resident who is insured under its automobile liability insurance policies, is subject to the personal and property protection insurance system under the Code. The bill would delete the references to bodily injury and personal protection in this provision.
The bill would retain the requirement that insurers provide property damage benefits to nonresidents who are insured under their automobile liability insurance policies.
