Introduced·2/18/26
Ment Text

Louisiana HB174 allows impoundment of out-of-state vehicles without compulsory liability insurance.

Louisiana HB174 amends existing law to clarify that out-of-state drivers must carry bodily injury liability insurance while driving in Louisiana. The bill specifies that a personal injury protection insurance card from another state, without bodily injury liability coverage, is not acceptable proof of required insurance. Failure to comply with these insurance requirements subjects the owner and operator to impoundment of the vehicle, along with other sanctions such as fines and limitations on recovery of damages.
