Rep. O’Malley votes to reduce car insurance rates for Northern Michigan drivers
RELEASE|May 24, 2019

State Rep. Jack O’Malley today approved a bipartisan plan to deliver significant car insurance rate relief for drivers across the state.

The House overwhelmingly voted to approve legislation guaranteeing lower rates by giving drivers more choice on personal injury protection coverage, stopping price gouging on medical services for car accident victims, and combating fraudulent claims to help lower costs. The plan should soon head to the governor for her expected signature.

“I’m proud to cast a vote that gets the job done and helps reduce rates for Michigan drivers,” said O’Malley, of Lake Ann. “Fixing our broken car insurance system has been a long-standing issue in Northern Michigan. This reform will give drivers the benefits they deserve at an affordable cost.”

The bipartisan solution is designed to end Michigan’s long tenure as the state with the most expensive car insurance rates in the nation.

Michigan’s costs are high largely because it’s the only state mandating unlimited lifetime health care coverage through car insurance. The bipartisan reform plan allows those currently using the coverage to keep it, and those who want it in the future to continue buying it – while providing more affordable options.

Senate Bill 1 now advances to the Senate for further consideration.
