Senator-Elect McBroom Calls on Legislature to Pass Auto Insurance Reform Before End of Term

Senator-elect Ed McBroom (R-Vulcan) is calling on the Michigan Legislature to pass real, cost-saving reforms to Michigan’s auto no-fault insurance system before the end of the current term.

“Michigan has the highest auto insurance costs in the nation. This is unacceptable,” states McBroom. “Reforming this needs to be at the top of the list for the legislature. Michigan drivers need relief, and they need relief now.

“By introducing consumer choice, implementing a fee schedule, and cracking down on fraud—all while mandating the passing on of significant savings to drivers—the average person could save up to 40% on their car insurance. The legislature has an opportunity to give every Michigan family a great Christmas present by promptly acting on this issue,” he said.

McBroom urges the current legislature to get auto insurance reform to Governor Rick Snyder to sign before Governor-elect Gretchen Whitmer takes office.

McBroom said, “The current Governor has promised to sign reform to auto insurance, so the legislature should act now to get this done before the new governor, who did not support these reforms in her campaign, takes office.”
