The sponsor described a personal case to explain the policy rationale: a crash six years earlier resulted in uninsured costs to the family and motivated the push for low-cost moped insurance. Committee members asked for an estimate of premium costs; the sponsor said premiums would likely be lower than motorcycle insurance and recalled paying about $55 a month for motorcycle coverage previously.
Committee members expressed general support for ensuring operators on public roadways carry insurance. A motion to pass was made and seconded; the committee approved the bill by voice vote. No detailed premium estimate or fiscal note was discussed on the committee floor during this hearing.
The bill will be forwarded to the next stage of consideration.
