BILL NUMBER:S1761
Title of bill
An act to amend the insurance law, in relation to automobile insurance rates for persons who are retired or disabled
Purpose
Reduces a retired or disabled owner's no fault insurance premium by providing appropriate automobile insurance rates to reflect a reduced exposure to loss.
Summary of provisions
Section 2330 of the Insurance Law is amended.
Justification
No-fault provides first party coverage when someone is injured as a result of a car accident. No-fault consists of health coverage, loss of earnings from work, and certain incidental expenses. Certain operators of motor vehicles either have no earnings from work or are covered for lost earnings from work by other first payer insurance policies. Thus, there is less exposure from the motorist's insurance company on the loss earnings component of no-fault insurance. However, many insurance companies do not adjust the premiums to take into account this reduced exposure to loss.
This bill requires that an insurance company demonstrate to the Superintendent of Insurance that its premiums reflect reduced exposure.
