Bill Summary
To eliminate the requirement that insureds under certain homeowners insurance policies pay, and provide for optional payment of, the surcharge imposed pursuant to section 38a-331 of the general statutes.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to modify section 38a-331 of the general statutes by changing the Healthy Homes Fund surcharge from a mandatory to an optional payment for homeowners insurance policyholders. Currently, homeowners are required to pay this surcharge as part of their insurance policy, but under this proposed legislation, insureds would have the choice of whether to pay the surcharge or not. The Healthy Homes Fund is likely a state program aimed at improving housing conditions or addressing housing-related health issues, and the surcharge was originally designed to fund this initiative. By making the surcharge optional, the bill gives homeowners more control over their insurance costs and potentially reduces the financial burden on homeowners, while still allowing those who want to support the Healthy Homes Fund to continue contributing voluntarily.
