Tuesday, June 19th, 2007 — Gov. Bob Riley decided to block legislation that would have raised the minimum amount of liability insurance that Alabama motorists must buy because he was concerned it didn’t give policyholders time to comply. Riley’s communications director, Jeff Emerson, said the governor agrees with the bill’s intentions, but he will not sign it into law because it is worded so that the new insurance requirements would take effect the moment he finished his signature.
