16  insert:

17         Section 2.  Insurance for state-owned law enforcement

18  vehicles.--

19         (1)  The state shall provide insurance for each motor

20  vehicle owned by the state and used by a state employee whose

21  duties are those of a law enforcement officer, as defined in

22  section 943.10, Florida Statutes, in carrying out his or her

23  official duties. Such insurance shall provide coverage for the

24  vehicle when it is being used during the employee's normal

25  working hours. If the employee uses the vehicle at the

26  direction or with the permission of the employing entity for

27  purposes such as travel to and from lunch breaks, travel to

28  and from training or other approved activities, and incidental

29  stops, such use shall be deemed work related and the insurance

30  must provide the same coverage for that use as is provided for

31  use during normal working hours.

    Amendment No. ___ (for drafter's use only)





  1         (2)  If the employee uses the vehicle for off-duty work

  2  for which he or she must reimburse the state, that

  3  reimbursement must include a reasonable reimbursement for

  4  insurance coverage on the vehicle while it is used for the

  5  off-duty work. The Division of Risk Management shall adopt

  6  rules assessing the amount of such reimbursement for insurance

  7  costs associated with off-duty use and may adopt rules that

  8  provide for a deductible in an amount of not more than $500

  9  per incident when the employee was determined to be at fault

10  in the incident and was using the vehicle in approved

11  activities for which he or she was liable to reimburse the

12  state.
