Better protect citizens in the event of a car accident with an uninsured motorist

HB 3028 requires West Virginia's Motor Vehicle Commissioner to create an electronic insurance verification program. This system will allow law enforcement and courts to instantly check if a vehicle was insured at the time of an accident using data like vehicle identification numbers and policy details. Insurance companies must cooperate by maintaining accurate coverage data and responding to verification requests. The program aims to streamline identifying uninsured drivers after crashes, directly affecting drivers involved in accidents, insurance providers, and law enforcement agencies.
