The bill provides that if an accident is covered by occupational accident
insurance maintained by more than one network company, the insurer of the
company against whom a claim is filed is entitled to a contribution for the pro rata
share of coverage attributable to one or more other network companies, up to the
above coverages and limits.
Under the bill, any benefit provided to an application-based driver under an
occupational accident insurance policy is treated as amounts payable under a
worker's compensation law or disability benefit for the purpose of determining
amounts payable under uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
