SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 2254

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  JUNE 20, 2022

     The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 2254.

     The bill removes a provision under current law allowing the selection of health insurance coverage as the primary payer for personal injury protection coverage and prohibits that practice.  Instead, the bill requires the personal injury protection coverage of the named insured to be the primary coverage for the named insured and any resident relatives in the named insured's household who are not named insureds under an automobile insurance policy of their own.
