State proposes automobile crash insurance in bill
Des Moines January 21 Automo bile crash insurance would be collected in 1930 from Iowa motorists by the state acting as payoff agent for damage and death claims under a bill by Rep Leonard Simmer Wapello County. The plan calls for a 10 annual license surcharge and sets death and permanent injury at 3000 each with caps and exemptions. The measure seeks to remove the fear of excess state costs while limiting payouts and would tax motorist lives preparing to license.
