TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida senators continued moving forward Monday with a proposal to do away with the state’s longstanding no-fault auto insurance system, with trial attorneys and insurers closely watching the debate.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill (SB 54) that would eliminate no-fault - and its requirement that motorists carry personal-injury protection, or PIP, coverage - and mandate bodily injury coverage.
Sponsor Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills, said the bill would make Florida like 48 other states that have bodily-injury insurance systems. He said he thinks it would help ensure that motorists have adequate coverage.

Bill also raises possibility that motorists could pay deductibles to have windshields replaced.
