North Carolina Senate bill in Session 2025.
Status: in_committee. Latest action: May 6, 2026.
Foster Care Motor Vehicle Insurance.
Amends GS 20-309(a2) concerning motor vehicle liability insurance policy exclusion of coverage for persons receiving foster care in the owner/foster parent's household. Requires the exclusion endorsement to be available to any person who received foster care during the coverage period and provide coverage for the operation by the person receiving foster care of any nonfleet passenger motor vehicle furnished or available to that person for regular use. Prohibits the endorsement from withholding coverage solely because the person in foster care resides in a household with an existing motor vehicle liability policy. Specifies that it is not a violation of Article 13 (the Vehicle Responsibility Act) for an owner to terminate an endorsement if the owner no longer provides foster care for the child. Makes clarifying changes and expands the subsection's notwithstanding clause to include provisions of GS Chapter 58.
