PART 500_MIGRANT AND SEASONAL AGRICULTURAL WORKER PROTECTION--Table of 

Contents

 

   Subpart D_Motor Vehicle Safety and Insurance for Transportation of 

Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers, Housing Safety and Health for 

                             Migrant Workers

 

Sec.  500.120  Insurance policy or liability bond is required for each 

vehicle used to transport any migrant or seasonal agricultural worker.



    A farm labor contractor, agricultural employer or agricultural 

association shall not transport any migrant or seasonal agricultural 

worker or his property in any vehicle such contractor, employer or 

association owns, operates, controls, or causes to be operated unless he 

has an insurance policy or liability bond in effect which insures 

against liability for damage to persons or property arising from the 

ownership, operation, or causing to be operated of such vehicle. 

Generally, the owner or lessor of the vehicle will be responsible for 

providing the required insurance. The insurance requirements do not 

apply to vehicles involved in carpooling arrangements made by the 

workers themselves, using one of the workers' own vehicles and not 

specifically directed or requested by an agricultural employer or 

agricultural association. However, carpooling does not include any 

transportation arrangement in which a farm labor contractor 

participates. Activities exempt from transportation safety standards are 

also exempt from insurance requirements. (See also Sec.  500.103.)
