On page 3, line 16, strike "electric" and insert "electronic"
Beginning on page 3, line 37, strike all of subsection (8) and
insert the following:
"(8)(a) Prior to the first use of a vehicle in a program, and upon
renewal, cancellation, or change in insurance by the program, provide
the vehicle's registered owner and any person operating the vehicle
pursuant to the program with a disclosure that contains:
(i) Information explaining the requirements of this section;
(ii) Full and clear disclosure of the coverages and coverage limits
provided under the program insurance policy;
(iii) Notice that the vehicle owner's insurer has no duty to defend
or indemnify any person or organization for liability for any loss that
occurs during use of the vehicle pursuant to a program; and
(iv) Notice that the vehicle owner or any person operating the
vehicle pursuant to the program may have liability for claims that
exceed the limits of the program insurance policy.
(b) The information in (a) of this subsection must be made
available to the vehicle owner's insurer upon the insurer's request."
EFFECT: Restructures disclosure provisions in the bill. Adds additional disclosures regarding potential liability of the vehicle owner or a vehicle operator under the program. Adds notice that the vehicle owner's insurer is not liable for any claims that occur while a vehicle is in a program. Corrects an incorrect word.
