AI Summary
This bill requires that insurance companies must send written notices of cancellation or non-renewal for automobile and homeowners insurance policies using certified mail with a return receipt requested, in addition to sending the notice by regular mail. The insurer must also obtain and keep proof of mailing from the United States Postal Service, showing the insured's name and address, and retain a certified copy of the mailed notice. This change is intended to ensure that policyholders are properly notified of any changes to their insurance coverage, and the policy will remain in effect if these notification requirements are not met.
