Another auto insurance rollout in Lansing

A bipartisan coalition unveiled the latest attempt to overhaul the state’s auto insurance law today.

Backers say it’ll reduce insurance bills by an average of 20-percent.

The bill has an uphill battle. Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof has said that any bill will be dead in the Senate if it requires insurance companies to roll back rates. This bill does just that.

   Representative Lana Theis is a bill sponsor. She says everyone behind the bill is open to suggestions.

“It’s an all hands on deck. If you’re coming with an idea that’s actually going to create savings for the folks, we’re gonna take a look at it.”

   The bill was introduced in the state House. A spokesperson for Meekhof says the majority leader will look at the plan if it gets to the Senate.
