Senate recognizes InsureRight and passes bill to increase uninsured motorist reporting
Summary
Lawmakers presented an official citation to InsureRight for managing Utah's Uninsured Motorist Database and passed a first substitute to House Bill 17 requiring InsureRight to provide data to the state twice monthly instead of monthly, a change the sponsor said InsureRight agreed to and that carries no fiscal note.
The Utah Senate presented a formal citation to InsureRight for managing the state's Uninsured Motorist Database and later passed legislation changing the program's reporting cadence.
Senator Knudson used a personal‑privilege recognition to highlight the database, saying the program has operated since 1995 and noting that the uninsured motorist rate in Utah fell from roughly 23% of vehicles to 5.8% over a decade. The Senate invited representatives of InsureRight (referred to on the floor as friends from Assurant/InsureRight) to the chamber and presented an official citation of appreciation.
On the legislative side, the chamber considered first substitute House Bill 17 (the InsureRight bill). Senator Jenkins said the substitute requires InsureRight to provide the state with uninsured motorist information twice a month instead of once a month; InsureRight had agreed to the change and the bill carried no fiscal note. The Senate passed the bill on a recorded roll call (reported in the transcript as 25 yes votes, 0 nay votes, with 4 absent).
