This measure adds another property tax exemption to an already growing list of carve-outs that erode the local tax base. Each new exemption shifts the burden onto other property owners and further fragments the tax system. Rather than expanding exemptions, the legislature should prioritize a fair and uniform tax structure.

This provision eliminates recovery rights based solely on an insurance lapse, regardless of who caused the accident. In a state with high poverty levels and already elevated insurance costs, a 30-day lapse is an unreasonably narrow window that will disproportionately impact vulnerable drivers. It is also unclear what notice, if any, drivers receive before such a lapse is deemed disqualifying, raising additional concerns about fairness and due process.

This proposal imposes arbitrary caps on general damages that applyregardless of the number of parties responsible, meaning multiple wrongdoers are collectively shielded by a single limit. It restricts the ability of courts and juries to fully account for the scope of harm and shared liability in complex cases. Justice should reflect the actual damages and responsibility involvedβnot be constrained by inflexible, one-size-fits-all caps.

This proposal modernizes service of process by allowing private individuals to serve without unnecessary delays tied to prior sheriff attempts. In many cases, private process servers are more responsive and effective, improving efficiency in moving cases forward. Removing rigid procedural hurdles helps ensure that litigation is not stalled by outdated service requirements.

This proposal grants the attorney general broad pre-litigation investigative powers, including compelled testimony and document production, without the safeguards typically associated with formal judicial proceedings. Combined with sweeping confidentiality provisions and discretion over disclosure, it risks creating a one-sided process with limited transparency and oversight. Expanding such authority without stronger checks increases the potential for misuse and undermines fundamental fairness.
