§ 65B.58 — Converted Motor Vehicles
Plain-Language Summary
A person who steals or illegally takes a motor vehicle is not eligible for no-fault insurance benefits if they are injured while using that vehicle, unless they genuinely believed they had a legal right to use it. If the person dies, their survivors also lose no-fault benefits.
65B.58 CONVERTED MOTOR VEHICLES.
A person who converts a motor vehicle is disqualified from basic or optional economic loss benefits, including benefits otherwise due as a survivor, from any source other than an insurance contract under which the converter is an insured, for injuries arising from maintenance or use of the converted vehicle. If the converter dies from the injuries, survivors are not entitled to basic or optional economic loss benefits from any source other than an insurance contract under which the converter is a basic economic loss insured. For the purpose of this section, a person is not a converter if that person uses the motor vehicle in the good faith belief that the person is legally entitled to do so.
