A Senate Republican is again seeking to repeal the state\u2019s longstanding no-fault auto insurance system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, filed a proposal (SB 464) on Wednesday to eliminate the no-fault system and its requirement that motorists carry $10,000 in personal injury protection, or PIP, coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n

The bill, filed for the legislative session that will start Jan. 9, would require motorists to carry bodily injury coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While serving in the House, Grall helped lead efforts to try to repeal the no-fault system, with a bill vetoed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After getting elected to the Senate, Grall filed a similar proposal for the 2023 session, but it did not move forward in committees. Critics of the repeal efforts have argued the change would drive up costs for low-income Floridians and could put more motorists on the road without coverage. Under no-fault, motorists are required to carry $10,000 in PIP coverage, an amount unchanged since 1979. The coverage is designed to help defray medical costs after accidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
