AI Summary
This bill lowers the minimum amount of uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage required for transportation network companies (TNCs), like Uber or Lyft, and their drivers when a driver is providing a prearranged ride. Currently, the required coverage is $1,500,000, but this bill proposes to reduce it in phases. For policies issued or renewed between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2025, the coverage will be $25,000 for injury or death of one person, $50,000 for injury or death of multiple people, and $25,000 for property damage. Starting January 1, 2026, these amounts will increase to $35,000 for one person, $70,000 for multiple people, and $25,000 for property damage. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage protects individuals when the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient insurance to cover the damages. This bill aims to adjust these requirements for TNC drivers.
