Bill > HB29

This bill prohibits certain insurance decisions, such as refusing to issue or renew coverage, limiting coverage, canceling policies, denying claims, or increasing premiums, based solely on a person's status as an elected official. However, these prohibitions do not apply if the decision is based on sound underwriting or actuarial principles related to actual or anticipated loss experience, or if the decision is required or authorized by law or regulation. The bill defines "elected official" to include members of the legislature, the governor, the lieutenant governor, members of the state's congressional delegation, constitutional convention delegates, borough or city mayors, and members of borough or city assemblies, councils, or school boards. The bill applies to insurance policies or contracts issued, delivered, or renewed on or after the effective date of the Act.
