Legislature approves requirement for increased car insurance
Consumers would have to buy more car insurance with legislation heading to Governor Mark Sanford’s desk.
The House Tuesday approved increasing the minimum liability coverage that drivers are required to buy to $25,000 for bodily injury for each person injured in a wreck, $50,000 for all people injured and $25,000 to cover property damage.
The existing requirements are $15,000; $30,000 and $10,000.
The change was added by Hartsville Senator Gerald Malloy to a bill that addressed a state Supreme Court decision about what insurance agents are required to do when offering insurance.
