Raises minimum amount of liability coverage for commercial motor vehicles and autocabs.

S 2279 raises the minimum liability insurance requirements for commercial motor vehicles and autocabs in New Jersey. It increases the required coverage from $500,000 to $1.5 million for most commercial vehicles (including those over 10,000 pounds) and sets a new $1.5 million minimum for autocab operators - up from $35,000 or the prior commercial minimum. These higher limits apply to policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, and require insurers to notify policyholders of necessary coverage increases. The bill directly affects commercial vehicle owners, fleet operators, and autocab companies by mandating stronger financial protection for injury or property damage claims. The bill was introduced in January 2024 but was withdrawn (WITHDRAWN APP P.L.2023, c.276).
