notwithstanding Section 31A-22-302, may offer a personal automobile liability policy that excludes coverage for a loss that arises from the use of the insured vehicle to provide transportation network services; and
does not have the duty to defend or indemnify a loss if an exclusion described in Subsection (11)(a) excludes coverage according to the policy's terms.
