To Whom it May Concern:

I am writing to express strong support for the Insure-Rite Program and the uninsured data base process implemented in Utah. We have experienced a tremendous decline in the number of insured motorists and attribute the state's success to implementation of the Insure-Rite product.

As a Legislator and current Chairman of the Transportation Committee, I am keenly aware of the efforts and progress made in helping individuals that drive vehicles in Utah to operate and comply with our mandatory insurance regulations. This has been particularly beneficial for high school populations by providing parents with the emphasis necessary to make these, often- inexperienced drivers, comply with our laws.

In speaking of enhancements to the program, the legislature has seen the benefit of adding additional enforcement components to the program over the past three years and has given the program a ten-year sunset provision. I think this reflects their satisfaction with Insure-Rite’s performance and effectiveness. My division is likewise pleased with the results of your program since its inception as well as the fact it has withstood both a legislative audit and a performance audit by the Utah Tax Commission. Overall, I can state that I am pleased with the reliability and response time of the Insure-Rite, Inc. database. Further, the customer service you provide to us and to those who utilize or who are affected by Insure-Rite, Inc. has been very positive

Sincerely,

Utah State Senator
David H. Steele
