Its probably not a law that you have to your child to an insurance policy but it may be part of the contract between the insured (yourself) and the insurance company. The application and policy make up a legal contract for your auto insurance. In this contract you agree to notify the insurance company of any and all drivers and household members and you agree to pay the premium. The insurance company agrees to pay claims for the coverage you purchased and to defend you in court should the need arise. The reason the insurance company wants to know about your child (all household members) is because if you are in an accident they need to know how many people from your household may be in the car so they can charge enough to cover the medical expenses of all insureds. Insurance companies are regulated state by state so your state may have different rules as to what the insurance company can require to sell you an insurance policy.

Only if you expect your insurance to cover you if the child has an accident. You auto insurance contract states that you are responsible for listing all household members and drivers who drive your vehicles. If you do not do this then you have committed material misrepresentation and the insurance company is then not responsible for paying for the damage from the accident.

As long as your child does not have a vehicle with them ever when at school the many insurance companies allow for a large discount due to the fact that the child is not a regular driver. They are still a member of your household and should be on your policy in case they drive when at home or may drive when at home.
