AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in  relation  to  limits  on  certain
  supplementary insurance

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Paragraph 2 of subsection (f) of section 3420 of the insur-
ance law, as separately amended by chapters 547 and 568 of the  laws  of
1997, is amended to read as follows:
  (2)  (A)  Any  such  policy  shall, at the option of the insured, also
provide supplementary  uninsured/underinsured  motorists  insurance  for
bodily  injury, in an amount up to the bodily injury liability insurance
limits of coverage provided under such policy[, subject to a maximum  of
two  hundred fifty thousand dollars because of bodily injury to or death
of one person in any one accident and, subject to  such  limit  for  one
person,  up to five hundred thousand dollars because of bodily injury to
or death of two or more persons in  any  one  accident,  or  a  combined
single  limit  policy of five hundred thousand dollars because of bodily
injury to or death of one or more persons in any one accident.  Provided
however,  an  insurer  issuing  such  policy, in lieu of offering to the
insured  the  coverages  stated   above,   may   provide   supplementary
uninsured/underinsured  motorists  insurance  for  bodily  injury, in an
amount up to the bodily injury liability insurance  limits  of  coverage
provided under such policy, subject to a maximum of one hundred thousand
dollars  because  of  bodily injury to or death of one person in any one
accident and, subject to such limit for one person, up to three  hundred
thousand  dollars  because  of  bodily injury to or death of two or more
persons in any one accident, or a combined single limit policy of  three
hundred  thousand dollars because of bodily injury to or death of one or
more persons in any one accident, if such insurer also makes available a
personal umbrella policy with liability coverage limits up to  at  least

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
