California law requires that all drivers be insured. For many however, the cost of insurance is too high to maintain and many low-income drivers simply go without it to the detriment of everyone. Assemblyman Dave Jones’ bill, SB 171, was set to expire but on September 28, 2010, Schwarzenegger signed a five year extension. SB 171 is the first of its kind in the nation and offers low cost basic insurance to qualifying, low-income drivers with good records.

Under SB 171, all insurers in the state of California are required to sell a certain number of low-cost policies to qualifying drivers. Insurance companies and agents are required by law to inform prospective policyholders about the program.
