Bill Summary
Amends the Use of Credit Information in Personal Insurance Act. Changes the short title to the Use of Credit and Claims Information in Personal Insurance Act. Defines "claims information" as any written, oral, or other form of communication that enables an insurance company to access information associated with claims made by a consumer. Provides that an insurer authorized to conduct business in the State that uses claims information to underwrite or rate risks shall not consider claims by a consumer resulting from negligent or intentional action by a third party or claims made by a consumer that were determined not to be covered by the consumer's policy when underwriting or rating personal insurance. Specifies that provisions concerning claims information do not prohibit consideration by the insurer, when underwriting or rating personal insurance, of claims information concerning any claim made by a consumer that resulted in a nonpayment of the claim due to the consumer's fraudulent activity.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Use of Credit Information in Personal Insurance Act, renaming it the Use of Credit and Claims Information in Personal Insurance Act and defining "claims information" as any communication that allows an insurance company to access information about a consumer's claims. Crucially, it prohibits insurers from considering claims made by a consumer that were caused by a third party's negligence or intentional actions, or claims that were ultimately not covered by the consumer's policy, when determining personal insurance rates or coverage. However, this restriction does not apply if a claim was not paid due to the consumer's fraudulent activity, which insurers can still consider.
