Background and Discussion:

Non-owned auto insurance is an optional program that provides liability coverage for enrolled Harris County employees when in the operation of a Harris County controlled vehicle and are involved in an at-fault auto accident while not in the course and scope of employment. There are approximately 1,220 Harris County employees currently enrolled in the program. The policy has come up for renewal, and the monthly premium is increasing from $60.00 to $68.00.  The new premium will be reflected on the employee’s May 10, 2024 paycheck.

 

Expected Impact:

There is no significant fiscal impact to Harris County since the County only facilitates the purchase of the non-owned auto coverage by employees via a payroll deduction.

 

Alternative Options:

Given the unique nature of this type of insurance policy, there are no other insurance companies willing to provide this policy for Harris County.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding

_ Environment
