Maryland Auto Insurance Bills Clash With State Funds
An Annapolis legislature is locked in a clash over auto insurance laws with two divergent bills. One would require a sticker system to identify insured motorists and enforce the mandate to buy insurance or pay a $70 liability claim tax. The other would let private agents sell a policy covering drivers who lack commercial coverage or rely on the state fund. With the Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund facing a $3.7 million deficit, lawmakers warn higher costs are likely and all motorists are affected.
