CofA Insurance Policy Engagement
Earlier this year, Council established a task group to review the policy on insurance requirements for holders of Certificates of Authorization (CofA). This task group was struck since it was recognized that this policy had not been reviewed for 20 years and there has been information received that components of the policy were possibly out of date. Based on those discussions, as well as input from the insurance industry and legal counsel, a new draft insurance policy has been established. Council is seeking input regarding the proposed insurance changes by noon, Thursday, December 5, 2024. For more information on the proposed insurance changes, please review the full news story.
