Sandra S. Grossman, Warren, argued the cause for respondent American International Insurance Company of Delaware (Law Offices of Steven G. Kraus, attorneys; Ms. Grossman, on the brief).

Before Judges GRALL, SIMONELLI and KOBLITZ.


The opinion of the court was delivered by

GRALL, J.A.D.

The Federal Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986 (LRRA), 15 U.S.C.S. §§ 3901 to 3906, exempts risk retention groups from many, but not all, state laws regulating insurers. The primary issues on this appeal are whether New Jersey violates LRRA by requiring risk retention groups to provide pedestrian personal injury protection (pedestrian-PIP) benefits in conformity with N.J.S.A.
