Amend SB 1843 (Senate committee printing) in SECTION 1 of the 
bill by striking added Section 1952.059, Insurance Code (page 1, 
lines 13 through 25), and substituting the following:
	Sec. 1952.059.  REQUIRED PROVISION:  COVERAGE FOR UNNAMED 
DRIVERS.  (a)  In addition to applying to the insurers subject to 
this chapter under Section 1952.001, this section applies to a 
county mutual insurance company.
	(b)  Except as provided by Subsections (c), (d), and (e), an 
insurer may not deliver or issue for delivery in this state a 
personal automobile liability insurance policy, including a policy 
provided through the Texas Automobile Insurance Plan Association 
under Chapter 2151, that covers liability arising out of the 
ownership, maintenance, or use of any motor vehicle unless the 
policy covers all family members of the named insured residing in 
the named insured's household and any other residents of the named 
insured's household.
	(c)  Subsection (b) does not apply if an insurer obtains the 
named insured's rejection of the coverage otherwise required under 
that subsection, in writing, for all family members of the named 
insured residing in the named insured's household and any other 
residents of the named insured's household as provided by this 
subsection.  The rejection document must specifically identify each 
person who resides in the named insured's household who is not 
covered under the policy and include the named insured's 
acknowledgement that the policy does not cover the persons 
identified in the rejection document.  The rejection document must 
also include a notice that any other resident of the named insured's 
household, regardless of whether the resident is a member of the 
named insured's family, who is not specifically identified in the 
rejection document is not covered under the policy.  Unless the 
named insured subsequently requests in writing the coverage 
rejected under this subsection, the insurer is not required to 
provide that coverage in a renewal or reinstated insurance policy 
if the named insured rejected the coverage in writing in connection 
with an insurance policy issued to the insured by the same insurer 
or by an affiliated insurer.
	(d)  A policy issued under Subsection (c) must contain a 
notice with each renewal of the policy, or delivery of evidence of 
renewal, in at least 14-point type, that specifically identifies 
the family members residing in the named insured's household and 
other residents of the named insured's household who are not 
covered under the policy and a statement that any other resident of 
the named insured's household, regardless of whether the resident 
is a member of the named insured's family, who is not specifically 
identified in the notice is not covered under the policy.
	(e)  This section does not prohibit an insurer from excluding 
from coverage under the policy only the family members residing in 
the named insured's household or other residents of the named 
insured's household who are specifically named as being excluded.  
An exclusion under this subsection must be in writing and must:
		(1)  include the name of the person excluded from 
coverage;          
		(2)  be signed by the named insured; and                               
		(3)  be attached to the policy.
