AI Summary
This bill prohibits insurers from refusing to issue or renew, canceling, or charging an increased premium for homeowners' insurance policies based solely on the breed of dog owned. However, the bill allows insurers to refuse, not renew, or increase premiums for a policy if the dog has been designated as a "dangerous dog" under the Agriculture and Markets Law, based on sound underwriting and actuarial principles. The bill applies to all homeowners' insurance policies issued, renewed, modified, altered, or amended on or after the effective date, which is 90 days after it becomes law.
