1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 2284
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 2284 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | ||||||
5 | Volunteer Driver Protection Act. | ||||||
6 | Section 5. Definitions. In this Act: | ||||||
7 | "Vehicle insurance" has the same meaning ascribed to it in | ||||||
8 | the Illinois Insurance Code. | ||||||
9 | "Volunteer driver" means a person who transports | ||||||
10 | individuals or goods without compensation above reimbursement | ||||||
11 | for expenses. Such volunteer driving must be performed for a | ||||||
12 | not-for-profit agency or charitable organization as defined in | ||||||
13 | the General Not for Profit Corporation Act of 1986. | ||||||
14 | Section 10. Volunteer drivers. An insurer may not refuse to | ||||||
15 | issue vehicle insurance to a person solely because the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applicant is a volunteer driver. An insurer may not impose a | ||||||
2 | surcharge or otherwise increase the rate for a vehicle policy | ||||||
3 | solely on the basis that the named insured or any member of the | ||||||
4 | insured's household or a person who customarily operates the | ||||||
5 | insured's vehicle is a volunteer driver. This Act shall not | ||||||
6 | prohibit an insurer from taking any actions upon factors other | ||||||
7 | than the volunteer status of the insured driver. No producer of | ||||||
8 | vehicle insurance may receive a license under the Illinois | ||||||
9 | Insurance Code or any other professional regulation statute if | ||||||
10 | the producer fails to certify under oath that the producer does | ||||||
11 | not discriminate against volunteer drivers.
| ||||||
12 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
13 | becoming law.".
