Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to damages owed by a party at fault in crashes and collisions involving commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). The bill requires a party responsible who is at fault in a crash or collision involving a CMV to arrange for and pay the costs associated with the provision of a like replacement CMV to be delivered to the owner or operator of the damaged CMV, if requested by such owner or operator, without unnecessary delay. The like replacement CMV must be provided by the person at fault until the required repairs to the damaged CMV are completed or the damaged CMV is ready to be fully put back into service, whichever occurs first.
