28 Tex. Admin. Code § 5.208 - Terminology Describing Transportation-Related Accidents (Collisions)
(a) House Bill 2190, 88th Legislature, 2023
(HB 2190) replaced the term "accident" with "collision" in Insurance Code §
1952.155, concerning
Benefits Payable Without Regard to Fault or Collateral Source; Effect on
Subrogation, and §1954.056(b), concerning Financial Responsibility. However,
the transition provision in Section 142 of HB 2190 states that these changes to
the law are nonsubstantive and are intended to clarify rather than change
existing law.
(b) Consistent with
the transition provision in Section 142 of HB 2190, the Texas Department of
Insurance (TDI) interprets the term "collision" when used in Insurance Code §
1952.155 and §
1954.056(b)
as having the same meaning that "accident" had before passage of HB 2190 and as
having no impact on rules adopted pursuant to Insurance Code §
1952.155 and §
1954.056(b)
or forms filed for approval with TDI under those Insurance Code sections and
rules before HB 2190.
(c) Because
the transition provision in Section 142 of HB 2190 says the changes are
nonsubstantive, they do not impact the rules in this subchapter.
