Bill > S09633

This bill requires companies that use digital networks to connect people with bicycle delivery workers, referred to as "bicycle delivery contractors," to provide personal injury liability insurance. This insurance is intended to compensate individuals who are injured by a bicycle delivery worker during a delivery trip, with a minimum coverage of $20,000 per incident. The bill defines key terms such as "bicycle delivery contractor," "digital network," and "bicycle with electric assist delivery workers" (or BEA delivery workers), which are individuals who use electric-assist bicycles or electric scooters to make deliveries through an app or website. The insurance provided by the contractor will be the primary coverage and will not include no-fault benefits. Additionally, these contractors must inform their delivery workers that this insurance is available and prominently post this notice on their website, along with contact information for the state's financial services department. The superintendent of financial services is authorized to create rules and regulations to implement these requirements, including how to handle situations where a delivery worker is using multiple digital networks at the same time.
