SENATE RESOLUTION
REQUESTING THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER TO STUDY THE ADEQUACY OF INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES AND TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANY DRIVERS.
WHEREAS, Act 236, Session Laws of Hawaii 2016 (Act 236), was intended to close the insurance gaps associated with transportation network companies by establishing motor vehicle insurance requirements for transportation network companies and transportation network company drivers; and
WHEREAS, while Act 236 requires the Insurance Commissioner to conduct an annual study and report to the Legislature on the impact of Act 236 on personal motor vehicle insurance policy rates in the State, Act 236 does not require the Insurance Commissioner to study the adequacy of coverage required under Act 236 for claims arising from accidents involving transportation network companies and transportation network company drivers; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the effect on insurance rates, it is important to determine whether the insurance coverage requirements for the personal vehicles of transportation network company drivers are adequate to cover claims by passengers, drivers, and members of the public, including other drivers and pedestrians, who may suffer injury, death, or property damage as a result of motor vehicles accidents involving transportation network companies and transportation network company drivers; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2018, that the Insurance Commissioner is requested to study the adequacy of insurance coverage requirements for transportation network companies and transportation network company drivers; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in completing the study, the Insurance Commissioner is requested to consider, among other things, the insurance coverage required by:
(1) The Department of Transportation for airport permittees pursuant to chapter 19-20.1, Hawaii Administrative Rules;
(2) The various counties for taxicabs and taxicab drivers; and
(3) The Public Utilities Commission for commercial vehicles and commercial vehicle operators pursuant to chapter 6-62, Hawaii Administrative Rules; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Insurance Commissioner is requested to submit a report of the Commissioner's findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2019; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the Insurance Commissioner.
