Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to prohibiting certain restrictions as it relates to dog breed
AI Summary
This bill amends insurance law to prohibit insurers from denying, canceling, increasing premiums for, or limiting coverage on homeowners' liability insurance and renters' insurance policies solely because a policyholder owns or harbors a dog of a specific breed or mixture of breeds. This change aims to prevent insurance companies from discriminating against policyholders based on their dog's breed, ensuring that such decisions are not made without considering other factors. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law and will apply to policies issued or modified on or after that date.
