AI Summary

  • Changes "obtain" to "claim" personal protection insurance benefits through the assigned claims plan when no applicable coverage exists or cannot be identified.

  • Establishes 60-day deadline for the Michigan automobile insurance placement facility or assigned insurer to specify in writing what constitutes satisfactory proof of loss after receiving a completed application.

  • Clarifies that the assigned insurer is not required to pay interest penalties on claims during periods when the claim is reasonably in dispute.
