AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce racial and socioeconomic inequities in auto insurance premium pricing. It amends Chapter 175E of the General Laws to require auto insurance providers to limit the weight of territorial classifications in their rating plans to no more than 75% of the individual territorial loss cost indication, with the remaining 25% or more being based on the statewide average loss cost indication. This is intended to diminish the disparate impact of auto insurance rates and premiums on policyholders in different territories. The bill also grants the Commissioner of Insurance the authority to promulgate additional rules and regulations to further the intent and purpose of this legislation.
