A 10594 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

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

This bill allows certain nonprofit organizations operating commuter vans, pre-arranged for-hire vehicles, or accessible vehicles to use risk retention groups for insurance instead of traditional insurers. It applies to vehicles registered in New York or other states that are not used solely for personal purposes by directors, officers, or key personnel and their families. The legislation defines specific terms like "commuter van" and "accessible vehicle" to clarify which vehicles qualify for this insurance option, with accessible vehicles requiring features such as wheelchair lifts, assistive listening systems, and signage for people with disabilities. This change expands insurance options for qualifying nonprofit transportation providers while maintaining restrictions on luxury vehicles and high-volume for-hire services.
