Minimum Car Insurance Levels Lowered in Wisconsin
The Wisconsin State Assembly has passed legislation which would lower the minimum car insurance coverage levels required in the state. While insurance would still be mandatory under the rules of this Republican bill, most motorists would have to purchase less coverage liability. Democrats had approved higher minimums in 2009, and so this new bill reverses those increases as they Republicans claim that the higher minimums were making car insurance more expensive.
The Senate approved the bill last month, and now that the Assembly has approved an identical version Democrats are trying to block it from moving forward. They are using a procedural move to delay Assembly Republicans from sending the Assembly version over to the Senate. However, the GOP can easily move the bill to the Senate during the Assembly's next regular floor session, and this would clear the way for signature by the governor.
