Insurance organizations said they are hoping Louisiana's governor will make it the ninth state to reject an increase of the minimum liability insurance required of the drivers.
Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco has until next Wednesday to sign into law or veto legislation that would more than double the limits currently required of state drivers.
Similar measures have failed to win enactment this year in eight states. Only in Texas has legislation enforcing higher limits opposed by the insurance industry and advocated by a variety of forces been signed by the governor into law.
