Iowa House members push repeal of guest statute in auto cases
Seven Des Moines Democrats introduced House File 3 to repeal Iowa's guest statute that bars passengers from suing drivers for injuries unless the driver was drunk or reckless. Repeal could double liability rates, insurance agents say, and invite possible collusion between driver and passenger to claim larger settlements. Insurance officials note Minnesota lacks the guest statute and compare rates across states.
