Summary

Existing law requires a shared mobility service provider, as defined, to enter into an agreement with, or obtain a permit from, the city or county with jurisdiction over the area of use before distribution of a shared mobility device, as defined. Existing law requires that agreement or permit to require that the shared mobility service provider maintains a specified amount of commercial general liability insurance with, among other things, limits not less than $5,000,000 aggregate for all occurrences during the policy period. Existing law also requires that agreement or permit to require the shared mobility service provider to offer or make available, or confirm that the user of a shared mobility device maintains, insurance coverage for bodily injury or death suffered by a pedestrian when the injury or death involves, in whole or in part, the negligent conduct of the shared mobility device user, as specified. This bill would provide that insurance coverage offered, made available, or confirmed under the above-described provisions is not a group insurance policy. The bill would also provide that the requirement on shared mobility service providers to offer, make available, or confirm insurance coverage for bodily injury or death suffered by a pedestrian involving the negligent conduct of the user does not prohibit an aggregated cap on that insurance coverage, and does not limit or supersede the requirement that the commercial general liability insurance maintained by the shared mobility service provider has limits not less than $5,000,000 aggregate for all occurrences during the policy period.
