The Florida Legislature passed a reform of the auto insurance mandate Friday that will limit how much insurers pay for specific medical treatments, but otherwise keep in place the requirement that died Monday requiring motorists to purchase $10,000 policies for injuries to themselves and passengers regardless of fault.
For drivers, the confusion may continue for awhile.
The reform lawmakers sent to Gov. Charlie Crist Friday takes effect Jan. 1. Until then, anyone who has personal injury protection insurance included in their auto policy will keep it.
Anyone who doesn?t have PIP won?t have to buy it until January.
And thus, one three-ring circus is brought to resolution, by settling for almost the status quo.
It’s a shame that they couldn’t have decided to almost maintain that status quo before the lapse of the law’s predecessor.
