Require vehicle insurance to include uninsured motorist coverage
HB 595 would require all auto insurance policies in Ohio to include uninsured motorist coverage. This means drivers would automatically have protection if they're injured by a driver without insurance, which is currently optional in many policies. The bill amends existing law (section 3937.18 of the Revised Code) to make this coverage mandatory for all new and existing policies sold in Ohio. It directly affects every driver purchasing auto insurance in the state by ensuring they have this specific protection.
