A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THAT LIABILITY, UNINSURED, AND UNDERINSURED COVERAGE IS NOT REDUCED BY RECEIPT OF SUBROGATED WORKERS' COMPENSATION BENEFITS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-279.21(e) reads as rewritten:
"(e)	Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage that is provided as part of a motor vehicle liability policy shall insure that portion of a loss uncompensated by any workers' compensation law and the amount of an employer's lien determined pursuant to G.S. 97-10.2 (h) or (j).  In no event shall this subsection be construed to require that coverage exceed the applicable uninsured or underinsured coverage limits of the motor vehicle policy or allow a recovery for damages already paid by workers' compensation.  The policy need not insure a loss from any liability for damage to property owned by, rented to, in charge of or transported by the insured."
Section 2.  This act becomes effective October 1, 1999, and applies to policies issued or renewed on or after that date.
