Complete·4/1/26

SB556 modifies insurance coverage priority for drivers of certain vehicles in West Virginia.

SB556 amends West Virginia's insurance policy to modify the priority of insurance coverage for drivers of certain vehicles. The bill ensures that insurance coverage for individuals using vehicles owned by businesses engaged in selling, repairing, leasing, or servicing motor vehicles is secondary to the business owner's insurance. This change aligns with federal law and applies to employees operating vehicles with permission and individuals testing or leasing vehicles.
