MI HB5298

Expands exceptions to the rule that passengers injured in commercial passenger vehicles must receive personal injury protection (PIP) benefits from that vehicle's insurer, adding limousines and buses not already exempted to the list of exceptions.

Passengers in newly exempted vehicles (limousines and non-specified buses) would instead claim PIP benefits under their own insurance policy or, if uninsured, through the assigned claims plan.

Defines "bus" as a motor vehicle with seating capacity of 9 or more passengers used for hire on public highways, and adds "limousine" to defined terms by reference to the 2016 limousine, taxicab, and transportation network company act.

Requires HB 5299 of the 103rd Legislature to be enacted for this bill to take effect (tie bar provision).
