House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Braud urges the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles and the Louisiana State Police to conduct a study on enforcing compliance with Louisiana's vehicle insurance requirements for out-of-state drivers. The resolution highlights the increasing percentage of uninsured motorists in Louisiana and the need to address incidents involving out-of-state drivers. It calls for an examination of existing laws and penalties for uninsured out-of-state drivers, as well as the feasibility of allowing these drivers to obtain temporary insurance coverage when penalized.
The resolution mandates that the Office of Motor Vehicles and the Louisiana State Police submit a joint written report to the House and Senate Transportation, Highways, and Public Works committees by January 15, 2026. This report should include findings on the enforcement of insurance compliance and potential procedures for out-of-state drivers. The resolution emphasizes the importance of these studies in protecting the citizens of Louisiana and ensuring that all drivers adhere to state insurance laws.
