During the July 21st Rawlins City Council meeting, Mayor Jacquelin Wells introduced a measure to amend the city’s municipal code on failure to maintain liability coverage.
Section 10.15.070 of the Rawlins Municipal Code prohibits a vehicle owner from operating or allowing someone else to operate their motor vehicle without state mandated liability insurance.
By adopting the state statute, Chief Ward said Rawlins police officers can bring all the charges into the municipal court.
Following the discussion, the Rawlins City Council unanimously voted to amend the municipal code on failure to maintain liability coverage to match state law on first reading.
