Relates to risk retention groups and commuter vans, pre-arranged for-hire vehicles, or accessible vehicles

Summary

The bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law so that nonprofit‑owned vans, commuter vans, pre‑arranged for‑hire vehicles and accessible vehicles can obtain insurance from qualified risk‑retention groups that are not chartered in New York but are registered under the federal Liability Risk Retention Act. It applies only to vehicles with 15 or fewer seats, that are not limousines, and that are not used solely for personal use by company insiders. This expands insurance options for these vehicles while keeping existing safety and registration rules.
