AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Insurance Code to provide additional protections for older drivers in automobile insurance policies. Specifically, it prohibits insurance companies from using a person's credit-based insurance score or age as a factor in determining rates or premiums for individuals who are 50 years of age or older. The bill also prevents insurers from canceling automobile insurance policies solely because the insured has reached 65 years of age, provided they maintain a valid Illinois driver's license. Furthermore, insurers cannot refuse to renew a policy or increase premiums based exclusively on an insured's age being 65 or older. Additionally, the bill restricts insurance providers from using data obtained from mobile phone applications or vehicle-installed technology to establish premiums without the express written consent of the insured, and they cannot increase rates if the insured withholds such consent. These provisions aim to protect older drivers from age-based discrimination in automobile insurance pricing and coverage.
