(b) For any motor vehicle accident occurring on or after October 1, 2006, no insurer may require its insured, as a condition of eligibility for payment of uninsured motorist benefits, to provide affidavits or written statements from the owner or operator of the alleged uninsured vehicle attesting to the fact that the individual did not maintain any liability coverage at the time of the motor vehicle accident.
(c) For any motor vehicle accident occurring on or after October 1, 2006, no insurer may require its insured, as a condition of eligibility for payment of underinsured motorist benefits, to provide affidavits or written statements from the owner or operator of the alleged underinsured vehicle attesting to the lack of any additional bodily injury liability bonds or insurance applicable at the time of the motor vehicle accident.
