"Albany legislators pushed back hard on Gov. Hochul's controversial scheme to reduce car insurance payments, in part, by reducing compensation paid out to victims of car crashes. Late on Monday night, the state Assembly and Senate released their proposed budgets - and neither included the proposal."
"Streetsblog's coverage showed what a bad idea the proposal is, demonstrated that it's actually a plot by Uber, showed how unfair it is to victims, and even offered the governor a better way to cut costs. This suggests that not everyone in the state's power corridors thinks that making it cheaper to drive is a good idea, given the billions of dollars wasted in crashes."
New York state legislators rejected Governor Hochul's controversial car insurance proposal that would have reduced compensation for crash victims to lower insurance costs. The state Assembly and Senate excluded the plan from their proposed budgets, marking a significant pushback against the governor's initiative. Coverage revealed the proposal's connection to ride-sharing companies and its unfair impact on victims. The rejection suggests state lawmakers recognize the substantial costs associated with vehicle crashes and negative effects of car-dependent policies. Alternative solutions for reducing insurance costs were proposed as viable options.
