I just think this is an unfortunate situation to have 5 minutes to debate this important issue. The question is, who will take the risk? If the rental car agency is not going to provide the insurance for the drivers, who will? Are they responsible or required to have insurance? Will the victims of negligence have to pay their own bills? This is just unfortunate. We have 50 different States, 50 different laws. They have all dealt with this situation individually. It is unconscionable to try to decide this in a 5-minute debate. I hope we defeat the amendment.
