Nevada proposes auto insurance regulation overhaul
The regulation aims to lower costs and curb insurer practices in underwriting, rating and cancellations. It would allow use of reckless or drunk driving convictions for up to three years, and other offenses for two years, in rate setting. A damage above 500 dollars could be charged as an accident. Commercial and private driving records could not cross-apply between private and business policies. Nevada officials cite fairness and regional rate disparities as factors guiding the proposal.
