New Jersey Statutes, Title: 17, CORPORATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS FOR FINANCE AND INSURANCE
Chapter 28: Separate risks and premiums; exceptions
Section: 17:28-8: Filing of endorsement to automobile liability insurance policy; "named excluded driver"; rules, regulations.
63. a. An insurer authorized to transact or transacting automobile insurance business in this State shall file with the commissioner, for the commissioner's approval, an endorsement to its automobile liability insurance policy which contains a "named excluded driver" provision that would exclude physical damage coverage on an automobile covered by an automobile liability insurance policy if it is operated by the "named excluded driver." For purposes of this section, "named excluded driver" means a driver in the household of the named insured who is specifically identified in the endorsement as a person whose operation of an automobile covered under the automobile liability insurance policy at the time of an accident would result in the denial of a physical damage claim for that automobile.
b. The premium charged for the physical damage coverage on a policy containing a "named excluded driver" endorsement shall not reflect the claim experience or driving record of the "named excluded driver" or drivers.
c. Election of a "named excluded driver" endorsement shall be in writing and signed by the named insured on a form prescribed by the commissioner. The "named excluded driver" endorsement shall continue in force as to subsequent renewal or replacement policies until the insurer or its authorized representative receives a properly executed form electing to discontinue the endorsement.
d. Notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the contrary, no person, including, but not limited to, an insurer or an insurance producer, shall be liable in an action for damages on account of the election of a "named excluded driver" endorsement.
e. The commissioner may promulgate rules and regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this section.
