 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] EQUAL 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
