S10G1902. GODFREY et al. v. GEORGIA INTERLOCAL RISK MANAGEMENT AGENCY.

HINES, Justice. This Court granted a writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals to consider whether that Court properly determined that a municipality's motor vehicle liability coverage secured through an interlocal risk management agency is not statutorily obligated to satisfy the requirements for uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that are applied to commercial insurance policies and private self-insurance plans. See Georgia Interlocal Risk Management Agency v. Godfrey, 305 Ga. App. 130 (699 SE2d 377) (2010). Finding that the Court of Appeals reached the correct conclusion, we affirm. This case arises from an automobile collision in which Daniel Godfrey, a police officer employed by the City of Newnan, was driving a City police car when it was struck by a motor vehicle owned and operated by Hural Henderson, who had $25,000 of motor vehicle liability coverage. The City of Newnan had a Member Coverage Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Georgia Interlocal

Risk Management Agency ("GIRMA"), established under OCGA
