Bill Summary
For legislation to prohibit insurance companies from denying policies for innocent spouses of criminals. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts law, specifically section 96 of chapter 175 of the General Laws, to prevent insurance companies from refusing to provide coverage to an "innocent spouse" for any damages or losses that result from the criminal actions of their spouse. This means that if one spouse commits a crime that leads to a loss, the other spouse, who is not involved in the criminal act, should still be able to receive insurance coverage for that loss.
