 1 Section 1. Subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (1) of subsection

 5 insurance coverage, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 5941-B
 6 and A. 6576-B, are amended to read as follows:
 7 (B) accident and health insurance that provides coverage to renters
 8 and other vehicle occupants, or that provides coverage to shared vehicle

 10 the standard first party benefits provided pursuant to article fifty-one
 11 of this chapter, for accidental death and/or dismemberment and for
 12 medical expenses resulting from an accident that occurs during the
 13 rental period or during the peer-to-peer car sharing period;
 14 (D) any other coverage that the superintendent may approve as meaning-
 15 ful and appropriate in connection with the rental of motor vehicles or

 17 § 2. This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same
 18 manner as a chapter of the laws of 2025 amending the general business

 20 programs provide certain insurance coverage, as proposed in legislative
 21 bills numbers S. 5941-B and A. 6576-B,
