Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to transportation; to amend section 75-307, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to require certain minimum uninsured and underinsured insurance coverage per occupant for certain certificated intrastate motor carriers, certain motor carriers transporting household goods, and any motor carrier transporting employees of a railroad carrier; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill amends Nebraska state law to require certain motor carriers, specifically certificated intrastate motor carriers, carriers transporting household goods, and motor carriers transporting railroad employees, to maintain a minimum of one million dollars in uninsured and underinsured insurance coverage per occupant. The legislation modifies an existing statute that governs insurance and bonding requirements for motor carriers, adding a specific mandate for a minimum coverage level to protect passengers. By setting this minimum insurance threshold, the bill aims to ensure that these types of motor carriers have sufficient financial protection in case of accidents involving uninsured or underinsured motorists. The amendment does not apply to transportation network companies, and the commission retains discretion to classify motor carriers and determine specific insurance requirements based on the potential hazards of their operations. The bill will repeal the original section of the statute, replacing it with this updated version that includes the new insurance coverage requirement.
