MODERATE

The bill was amended to remove 'transportation network companies' from the list of eligible vehicles for a captive insurance program, narrowing its scope to commuter vans, pre-arranged for-hire vehicles, and accessible vehicles. The title and section header were updated to reflect this change, and the definition of 'pre-arranged for-hire vehicle' was slightly revised to remove specific examples of school bus sections while retaining the core definition. Additionally, the bill's procedural history was updated to indicate it has been reported from committee again with amendments.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed by removing 'transportation network companies' (such as ride-share services) from the list of entities eligible to create a captive insurance group.

SCOPE

Removed 'transportation network companies' from the list of eligible vehicles in the section title, section header, and multiple references within the text.

DEFINITION

Updated the definition of 'pre-arranged for-hire vehicle' to remove specific citations to Vehicle and Traffic Law sections regarding small school buses, though the definition itself remains functionally similar.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill title from 'AN ACT to amend the insurance law and the vehicle and traffic law' to 'AN ACT to amend the insurance law' since the Vehicle and Traffic Law amendment was removed.

Updated the procedural history to reflect that the bill was 'again reported from said committee with amendments' and added new sponsors (Reyes and Mitaynes).
