Quick answers
Q1
What are state minimum coverage rules?
Every state sets its own floor for auto liability, and several extend minimums to health or rental policies. Our briefs track the current floor for each jurisdiction and flag pending changes.
Q2
How often do requirements change?
Rate and rule changes typically cluster around July 1 and January 1 effective dates. The Update Board lists every brief as it lands, so a monthly scan keeps you current.
Q3
Do minimums cover everything after a crash?
No. State floors are the legal minimum to drive, not a recommended limit. The deep dives model out-of-pocket exposure at minimum versus recommended limits.
Q4
Which documents prove compliance?
Most states accept a digital ID card, but enforcement rules differ after an accident or a traffic stop. State desk pages list the accepted proof documents.
Q5
Where do the numbers come from?
Briefs cite state legislature publications, insurance department bulletins, and rate filings. Each brief links to the primary source where available.
