An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to providing discounts on premiums for motor vehicles equipped with side door airbags
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this bill is to give private car owners a reduction in their auto insurance for any car equipped with side door airbags.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 2336 of the insurance law is amended by adding a new subsection (i) that would give any scheduled or rating plan for non-commercial private passenger automobile insurance an appropriate reduction in premium charges for personal injury protection and medical payment coverage's with respect to any insured vehicle equipped with a side door inflatable restraint system (airbags) which meet federal standards.
Justification
Side door airbags are a recent safety feature added to vehicles. New York State law currently provides for car insurance discount for cars equipped with passenger and driver side airbags.
