AI Summary

  • Removes the requirement that insurance companies pass catastrophic claims association premiums to vehicle owners, eliminating direct premium charges to drivers starting on the effective date of the amendatory act.

  • Changes premium collection from individual insurers to the Secretary of State, who will collect state average premiums annually for regular vehicles and historic vehicles.
