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 Removing rigid procedural hurdles helps ensure that litigation is not stalled by outdated service requirements.
