Florida Governor Approves New DUI Law

Legislation requires higher insurance coverage after drunk driving




Florida Governor Charlie Crist will visit the Saint Petersburg Police Department for a ceremonial signing of new DUI legislation.

The bill calls for those convicted of Florida DUI to carry higher insurance coverage. Specifically, a minimum of $100,000 per person and $300,000 per incident in bodily injury insurance, and at least $50,000 in property damage coverage.

The measure had bi-partisan sponsorship in the Florida Legislature, and it was supported by the Florida Justice Association and Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
