Republican legislators are trying to muster support for a bill that would repeal new minimum car insurance levels.
The state budget Gov. Jim Doyle signed earlier this year required all motorists to purchase liability insurance. The budget also raised the minimum coverage for liability, uninsured and underinsured motorists and medical payments by tens of thousands of dollars.
Sen. Mike Ellis, a Neenah Republican, is among a group of GOP lawmakers proposing legislation they say will reset the minimum standards to pre-budget levels. He says the new standards were a “sloppy kiss” from Democrats to trial attorneys that working families can’t afford.
