Auto theft surcharge to cost $9.6 million per year

The Senate Ways and Means Committee passes SB 6871. Along with increasing court filing fees the proposal would also add a surcharge to car insurance policies to fight auto theft. According to the I-960 fiscal impact statement, the new charge is expected to collect $9.6 million annually from auto policyholders.

Just another tax, er, fee, er, revenue source.

Nothing like taxing something, er feeing something the state mandated you need before you use your own property.

What happnes to those that drive without insuance?  What about those of us who drive a 71 pinto, nobody wants to steal that, why would we have to pay the surcharge?  

How will this fight auto theft?  Will it buy everyone who owns a car an auto security system?  It makes you wonder whose car was stolen to institute this.

Vote the Bat-Rastards out!
