State Senator David Carlucci (Rockland/Orange) will announce proposed legislation to combat the fraudulent practice of automobile insurance rate evasion. This type of fraud costs New York taxpayers and ratepayers millions of dollars annually. Carlucci is co-sponsoring a bill. 

It occurs when a resident of one state illegally registers and insures their vehicle in another state to avoid paying higher premiums. The action results in lost revenue for local governments and increases premiums for the average ratepayer.

The senator will release details of the bill at an afternoon press conference at the Department of Motor Vehicles in West Haverstraw.
