HB999

Permits the impoundment of out-of-state vehicles not covered by compulsory liability insurance

Complete·6/9/26

Louisiana HB999 expands compulsory motor vehicle liability security enforcement to all vehicles operating within the state, including out-of-state.

Louisiana HB999 amends the state's motor vehicle liability security law to expand proof-of-insurance requirements and enforcement procedures to all vehicles operating within Louisiana, including those registered in other states. The bill removes the previous limitation that applied these procedures only to out-of-state vehicles involved in accidents or collisions. It mandates that all vehicles must provide proof of insurance, and if unable to do so, they will face impoundment and license plate removal.
