Before Judges Grall, Messano and LeWinn.
PER CURIAM
Plaintiffs Daniel and Angela DiGirolamo appeal from an order enforcing a "step-down" clause relevant to uninsured motorist (UM) coverage in a policy of commercial auto insurance issued to Mr. DiGirolamo's employer. Plaintiffs contend that a statutory amendment prohibiting such clauses that was enacted on September 10, 2007, L. 2007, c. 163; N.J.S.A. 17:28-1.1f, should be applied retroactively in this case. Because this case involves a policy that expired in 2006 and an accident that occurred in 2005, we affirm.
