HB 627
AN ACT relating to insurance.
In Plain Language
This bill changes Kentucky's auto insurance rules in several ways. It updates how medical expenses are handled and increases the amount people can get reimbursed each week for lost wages and other losses. It also gives the Attorney General power to investigate and prosecute insurance fraud, and requires the insurance commissioner to publish an annual report on fraud cases. These changes apply to new or renewed insurance policies after the bill takes effect.
