Reagan backs no fault insurance push in California
Gov. Reagan endorsed no fault automobile insurance and pledged support for a bill this year. Assembly Leader Jack Fenton welcomed the move after Reagan announced his position at a Thursday news conference. Other lawmakers including Sen. John Nejedly and Assemblyman Leroy Greene had previously sponsored or explored the concept. The plan would have a driver’s own insurer pay the claim regardless of fault, with Reagan noting tests show merit.
