AI Summary
This bill prohibits insurance companies from refusing to issue or renew, cancelling, or charging an increased premium for homeowners or renters insurance policies based solely on the presence of a specific breed of dog on the insured property. However, the bill allows insurers to take action against a policy if the dog has been designated as "dangerous" under current statutes. The bill will take effect 60 days after enactment.
