Bill > A08871

This bill amends the General Business Law to require third-party food delivery services to maintain insurance through a group policy that covers bodily injury or death arising from qualifying accidents involving delivery drivers. The key provisions include: (1) defining "delivery driver" and "qualifying accident"; (2) requiring the insurance policy to cover delivery drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists who experience basic economic loss, regardless of fault or immigration/contractor status; (3) excluding coverage for individuals who intentionally cause their own injury or are under the influence; and (4) specifying the insurance must be primary to any health insurance and offered without a deductible. The bill aims to provide coverage for accidents involving delivery drivers operating certain vehicles while working for third-party food delivery platforms.
