Dislikes
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.
