Bill Summary

Amends the Illinois Insurance Code. Provides that, when determining rates or premiums for certain automobile insurance policies, insurance issuers may not consider or otherwise use an individual's credit-based insurance score or age if the age of the insured is 50 years of age or more. Provides that a policy of automobile insurance, including any class of motor vehicle coverage, may not be canceled by the insurer solely because the insured has reached the age of 65 years so long as the insured has a valid Illinois driver's license. Prohibits an insurer from refusing to issue a renewal policy or increasing the premium for any policy solely because an insured has attained the age of 65 years or older. Prohibits providers of automobile insurance from considering any data obtained from applications on an insured's cellular phone or that may be installed, either at the time of manufacture or later, in the insured's motor vehicle for purposes of establishing premiums or rates with the express written consent of the insured. Prohibits providers from increasing rates or premiums on the basis that express written consent of the insured is withheld.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Insurance Code to protect older drivers from discriminatory insurance practices. Specifically, insurance companies are prohibited from using credit-based insurance scores or age as a factor in determining rates or premiums for automobile insurance policies when the insured is 50 years of age or older. The bill also prevents insurers from canceling an automobile insurance policy solely because the insured has reached 65 years of age, provided they have a valid Illinois driver's license. Additionally, insurers cannot refuse to renew a policy or increase premiums based exclusively on an insured's age being 65 or older. The legislation further restricts insurance providers from using data obtained from mobile phone applications or vehicle-installed technologies to establish premiums without the express written consent of the insured, and prohibits rate increases if such consent is withheld. These provisions aim to protect older drivers from potential age-based discrimination in automobile insurance pricing and coverage.
