§ 162-1721. TNC insurance coverage.

A TNC shall maintain insurance coverage placed with an insurer authorized to provide coverage in the state or with a surplus line insurer eligible under R.S. 22:431, et seq., that provides primary liability coverage and other coverages for TNC services during TNC service periods as provided below. The requirement for a TNC to maintain insurance coverage as described by this division may be satisfied by any of the following:

(a)

An insurance policy obtained by a TNC.

(b)

An insurance policy obtained by a TNC driver that is specifically written to cover TNC services.

(c)

Any combination of insurance policies obtained by the TNC and an insurance policy obtained by a TNC driver that is specifically written to cover TNC services.

A TNC may meet its obligations to maintain insurance coverage under this article with a policy obtained by the TNC driver pursuant to subsections (b) or (c), only if the TNC verifies that the policy or policies in question are specifically written to cover TNC services and that any policy obtained by a TNC driver in that regard is maintained. If an insurance policy obtained by a TNC driver to meet the requirements of subsections (b) or (c) ceases to exist at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, lapse or cancellation, or does not provide coverage for any reason the TNC's insurance policy shall provide all required coverage under this article beginning with the first dollar of a claim and shall have the duty to defend such claim.

Any insurance policy obtained to comply with this section shall add the City of New Orleans as an insured and be filed annually with the Louisiana Public Service Commission. The policy shall provide for notification to the City Attorney of the City of New Orleans of non-renewal or cancellation of such policy.
