WI Legislature Changes Minimum Coverage Requirement

The Wisconsin state legislature recently passed new legislation which lowers the state minimum liability insurance coverage. The new law was signed by the Governor and went into effect on November 1, 2011. The new bill reverses the changes made in 2009 which raised the minimum coverage required and was fairly costly to insurance customers. The lower coverage requirements will take effect on all new business written after November 1, 2011 or on policies which renew after November 1, 2011.
