Reforms Zero In on PIP Fraud

March 15, 2011 - 7:00pm

A bill cracking down on staged-accident scams breezed through a House subcommittee Wednesday, and a fleet of similar reforms is revving up.

House Bill 967 cleared the Insurance and Banking Subcommittee on a 13-2 bipartisan vote after just 45 minutes of discussion. It now heads to the Civil Justice Subcommittee.

The measure, along with companion Senate Bill 1694, cracks down on what insurers call "rampant" fraud involving the state's Personal Insurance Protection (no-fault) program.
