The committee advanced House Bill 494, a measure that would increase required coverage for mopeds involved in accidents so that costs do not fall onto other motorists.
Chairman Albers explained the bill and said the measure had passed last year through committee but did not reach final action on sine die; this session it returned with the same intent and no substantive concerns were raised. "I think it's a pretty straightforward bill," he said. No one requested to speak and the committee voted to pass the bill unanimously.
Why it matters: Sponsors said the change protects motorists and clarifies coverage for mopeds. The measure will proceed in the Senate process.
