More states are considering modernizing law to keep pace with modern technology, specifically smartphones. Ohio and Kansas are the latest in a line of state legislatures considering letting drivers use their cell phones to show proof of insurance, Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCIAA) reports.
“Electronic proof of coverage is one of the hottest insurance-related legislative trends for 2013,” PCIAA says
Currently 22 states are considering electronic proof of coverage bills or proposals during the 2013 legislative sessions, including: Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming and Wisconsin.
