AI Summary

  • Amends the Insurance Code to subject the catastrophic claims association's board to the Open Meetings Act (1976 PA 267) and Freedom of Information Act (1976 PA 442), requiring board meetings and records to be treated as public.

  • Establishes that if the board fails to comply with open meetings or FOIA requirements, the association must distribute all premium money held in equal shares to licensed drivers of Michigan.

  • Modifies language in Section 134 to clarify that associations and facilities are not state agencies and their money is not state money, regardless of FOIA compliance.

  • Increases the personal protection insurance coverage limits for the catastrophic claims association, with thresholds ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 depending on policy issue date, and adds biennial adjustments of up to 6% or the consumer price index effective July 1, 2013.
