Auto insurance changes raise minimums in South Carolina
The new year brings higher auto insurance minimums in South Carolina. Drivers must carry 25000/50000/25000 in liability coverage, up from 15000/30000/10000, affecting more than a million policyholders with potential increases up to 118 dollars annually. The measure, pushed with little public scrutiny, faced a veto override by the Legislature. It coincides with laws targeting school bullying and stricter property tax limits.
