Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to prohibiting insurers from canceling, refusing to issue or renew, or charging higher premiums for homeowners' insurance based on the breed of dog owned

AI Summary

This bill prohibits insurers from refusing to issue or renew, canceling, or charging or imposing an increased premium for homeowners' insurance policies based solely on the breed of a dog owned. However, the bill allows insurers to refuse to issue or renew, or cancel a policy, or impose a reasonably increased premium based on the designation of a dog as "dangerous" under the state's agriculture and markets law, subject to certain provisions.
