纽约保险改革的斗争加剧, 因为Uber支持削减成本的改变, 但关键条款面临删除. NY’s insurance reform fight heats up as Uber backs changes to cut costs, but key provisions face removal.

纽约州长凯西·霍库尔提出的汽车保险改革,旨在通过将驾驶员赔偿金限制为50%以上和缩小"严重伤害"的定义来降低保费, 这引发了Uber与审判律师之间的重大游说冲突. New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s proposed auto insurance reforms, aimed at lowering premiums by limiting payouts to drivers more than 50% at fault and narrowing the definition of “serious injury,” have triggered a major lobbying clash between Uber and trial lawyers. 优步公司花费800万美元宣传这些变化,声称这将降低司机的成本, 而审判律师协会则反对这一措施, 每年花费近140万美元来辩论它们损害了受害者权利. Uber, which spent $8 million on ads promoting the changes, claims they will reduce costs for drivers, while the Trial Lawyers Association opposes the measures, spending nearly $1.4 million annually to argue they harm victims’ rights. 虽然霍赫尔的盟友支持该计划, 但立法者已从预算草案中删除了关键条款, Though Hochul’s allies support the plan, lawmakers have removed key provisions from their budget drafts, leaving the outcome uncertain ahead of the April 1 deadline.
