BILL NUMBER:S3316A
Title of bill
An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to motorcycle insurance policies
Purpose
To ensure that the owners of motorcycles are aware that automobile no fault Insurance law does not apply to motorcycles and that New York State underinsured motorist coverage is available.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - Provides that insurance companies provide policy language advising motorcyclists that no fault insurance provisions for automobiles do not apply to motorcycles and that, as an alternative, state under insured motorist coverage is available.
Section 2 - Sets the effective date.
Justification
Motorcyclists currently do not have coverage for actual damages and lost wages if they do not possess State under insured motorist coverage which puts assets at risk and/or leaves judgments for damages unpaid.
This bill will encourage motorcyclists to obtain this insurance by ensuring that they are aware of the potential risk in not possessing state under insured motorist coverage and also afford protection for individuals who seek damages which damages might otherwise not be collected.
