HB 6413 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE FOR DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION EMPLOYEES.

HB 6413 requires the state to add uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage (with minimum $1 million limits for bodily injury or death) to the State Fleet Insurance Policy by July 1, 2026. This directly affects Department of Transportation (DOT) employees who drive for work and are outside their vehicles during employment. The coverage protects these employees if they are injured or killed by drivers without insurance or insufficient coverage while performing job duties outside their vehicles.
