Bill Summary

This bill prohibits an automobile insurer from issuing a policy of motor vehicle liability insurance to an individual unless the individual consults with an insurance producer about the policy prior to purchase. In addition, the bill permits an insurer to sell a policy of insurance through an internet website to an individual who has not consulted with an insurance producer if the insurer provides the individual with a cost benefit analysis prior to selling the policy of insurance.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits automobile insurers from issuing a policy to an individual unless the individual consults with an insurance producer prior to purchase. However, the bill allows insurers to sell a policy through a website to an individual who has not consulted with a producer, as long as the insurer provides the individual with a cost-benefit analysis before selling the policy. The bill also directs the Department of Banking and Insurance to adopt rules to define what constitutes a consultation and a cost-benefit analysis, and to implement the provisions of the act. The term "insurer" in this context excludes the New Jersey Automobile Full Insurance Underwriting Association and any residual market mechanisms.
