DIFS will host the events Tuesday at 6 p.m. and Wednesday at noon to allow drivers to ask questions about the new law.

Registration is not required. Links to join the virtual meetings can be found on the state’s website.

The state’s new auto insurance law lowers average statewide costs for drivers in Michigan, maintains the highest coverage options in the country and strengthens consumer protections, officials say.

The state released a video that helps explain the new law.

By participating in the town hall meetings, drivers will learn about the new choices available under the law and will have the opportunity to submit questions.

DIFS has a no-fault hotline where drivers can ask questions Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 833-ASK-DIFS (833-275-3437). Drivers can also email autoinsurance@michigan.gov or visit Michigan.gov/AutoInsurance for more information.
