Requested Relief

Many NIAC members are "not-for-hire" private carriers, who are required to register with the Commission pursuant to § 4001, et seq. Some NIAC members provide transportation services incidental to the operation of youth camps and thus are required to register as private carriers with the Commission per § 5353(n). Registration with the Commission requires proof of liability insurance. NIAC states that some members have encountered, and may encounter in the future, difficulty in obtaining registration because their liability insurance from NIAC is not written by a California licensed insurer, per se, as required by GO 160-A. NIAC's function is uniquely that of an insurer, however, without holding an insurer's Certificate of Authority. NIAC seeks the Commission's recognition of the liability insurance carried by its members so that they may register with the Commission as "not-for-hire" private carriers, if necessary, and as organizations providing transportation services incidental to the operation of youth camps.
