The Legislature approved in principle a uniform bill allowing medical payments for personal injury, uninsured motorist protection, and fault independent accident compensation. It also requires employers to cover employees using cars on mileage, and drivers receiving travel expense from passengers. The measure would require joint stock insurers to hold capital stock of at least 500000, up from 300000.
