ABC of Paloma Valencia's proposal to eliminate Soat payment for motorcycles up to 250 cc

TL;DR

Senator Paloma Valencia proposes the state pay Soat for motorcycles up to 250cc.
The initiative targets lower socioeconomic strata (1, 2, 3) who use these bikes for work.
Motos must be registered in Runt and legally classified as motorcycles to be covered.
Colombia has over 12 million motorcycles, with 93.5% being under 250cc.
The state would collectively cover the insurance cost, not individual riders.
High evasion rates (over 60%) of Soat for motorcycles are a major concern.
Higher displacement motorcycles would still require traditional Soat payment.
Concerns exist about the fiscal impact and funding sources for the state-funded plan.
The proposal must be formally submitted to Congress for legislative debate and potential approval.
