BILL NUMBER:S5025
Title of bill
An act to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to livery driver benefit fund
Summary of provisions
This bill amends section 18-C of the workers compensation law to provide authorized no-fault insurers with the necessary powers to implement the provisions of the workers compensation law.
Justification
Chapter 392 of the Laws of 2008, for the first time, required commercial no-fault auto insurers to provide workers compensation benefits to certain injured livery drivers The 2008 law, however, failed to include the necessary authorization to allow those insurers to accomplish the purposes of workers compensation coverage.
This amendment corrects this problem by granting the necessary authorization to insure that injured drivers receive prompt and appropriate treatment designed to enhance their ability to return to work. The public would also be protected under this bill by including existing provisions governing driving restrictions while receiving workers compensation benefits.
