This bill amends section 75-307 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to establish new requirements for certain motor carriers in Nebraska. Specifically, it mandates that certificated intrastate motor carriers, those transporting household goods, and motor carriers transporting railroad employees must provide a minimum of one million dollars in uninsured and underinsured insurance coverage per occupant when setting their insurance rates. The bill also clarifies that the commission has the authority to classify motor carriers based on operational hazards and the value of goods transported, while explicitly stating that it does not apply to transportation network companies.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 75-307, which did not include these specific insurance coverage requirements. The changes aim to enhance the protection of individuals using the services of these motor carriers by ensuring adequate insurance coverage in the event of accidents or incidents involving uninsured or underinsured motorists.
