Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 45, § 201.7. Automobile insurance provisions

A. (1) Insurers that write automobile insurance in this state may exclude any or all coverage afforded under the policy issued to an owner or operator of a personal vehicle for any loss or injury that occurs while a driver is logged on to a transportation network company's digital network during the pre-trip acceptance period or while a driver is engaged in a prearranged ride. This right to exclude coverage shall apply to any or all coverage in an automobile insurance policy including but not limited to:

(2) The exclusions permitted in this Subsection shall apply notwithstanding any requirement under the Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law, R.S. 32:851 et seq. or other laws. Nothing in this Section implies or requires that a personal automobile insurance policy provide coverage while the driver is logged on to the transportation network company's digital network during the pre-trip acceptance period, while the driver is engaged in a prearranged ride, or while the driver otherwise uses a vehicle to transport passengers for compensation.

(3) Nothing in this Part shall be deemed to preclude an insurer from providing coverage for the transportation network company driver's vehicle, if it chooses to do so by contract or endorsement.

B. (1) Automobile insurers that exclude the coverage described in R.S. 45:201.6 shall have no duty to defend or indemnify any claim expressly excluded thereunder. Nothing in this Part shall be deemed to invalidate or limit an exclusion contained in a policy including any policy in use or approved for use in this state prior to the effective date of this Part that excludes coverage for vehicles used to carry persons or property for a charge or available for hire by the public.

(2) An automobile insurer that defends or indemnifies a claim against a driver that is excluded under the terms of its policy shall have a right of contribution against other insurers that provide automobile insurance to the same driver in satisfaction of the coverage requirements of R.S. 45:201.6 at the time of loss.
