Bill Summary
This act would strengthen consumer protections by including definitions related directly to deceptive trade practices inherent in the insurance claim process. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill strengthens consumer protections by amending existing laws related to deceptive trade practices, specifically by adding definitions for "claimant" (anyone asserting rights to payment under an insurance policy), "insurer" (an entity that issues insurance), and "insurance claim handling services" (activities like investigating, adjusting, or settling insurance claims). These new definitions aim to clarify what constitutes deceptive practices within the insurance claim process, thereby offering consumers greater protection when dealing with insurers. The bill will become effective immediately upon its passage.
