Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 22:1286, relative to rates charged for automobile liability insurance coverage; to provide relative to prohibited increases to policyholders based solely on having attained the age of sixty-five or older; to provide a penalty for insurers in violation; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill amends Louisiana state law to prohibit automobile insurance companies from increasing insurance premiums for policyholders solely based on the fact that they are 65 years of age or older. The legislation specifically modifies existing insurance regulations to prevent age discrimination against senior citizens, making it illegal for insurers to raise rates on automobile liability insurance policies just because a policyholder has reached the age of 65. Furthermore, the bill establishes that any insurance company found to be in violation of this provision will be subject to penalties or regulatory actions as determined by the state insurance commissioner. This change aims to protect older drivers from unfair pricing practices and ensure that insurance premiums are based on factors other than age, such as driving record, claims history, or other relevant risk indicators.
