Overview
This bill would require individuals involved in arbitration hearings related to personal injury protection benefits to have an attorney represent them, at their own cost. The law aims to ensure a more equitable process by providing legal assistance to those involved. However, individuals representing themselves (pro se litigants) are exempt from this requirement. The law will take effect 90 days after it is enacted and apply to new arbitration hearings initiated after that date.
