- ➤ The Senate committee approved two tort reform bills that will lower auto insurance premiums by reducing injury payouts; one bill cuts compensation for uninsured drivers while the other caps payments when a driver is 51% or more at fault. Senator Gary Carter opposed the measures—saying they remove rights without a guarantee of lower rates—while Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple supported the changes to address Louisiana’s high bodily injury claim numbers.
