AI Summary

This bill amends Section 193P of Chapter 175 of the General Laws to prohibit insurance companies from cancelling or non-renewing a homeowner's fire insurance policy without good cause. The bill requires insurance companies to provide written notice of their intent to not renew or reissue a policy at least 60 days prior to the policy's expiration, and the notice must include the reasons for the decision and measures the insured can take to mitigate those reasons. The bill also directs the Division of Insurance to promulgate regulations to enforce these provisions.
