Bill Summary

Relative to insurance binders for losses or damage due to building fires. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 175, Section 98, which deals with insurance binders. Specifically, it allows for the issuance of a written memorandum of a preliminary contract of insurance, also known as a binder of insurance, for a period of up to thirty days before the final insurance policy is issued, but only for policies covering loss or damage from building fires. This change aims to streamline the process of providing temporary insurance coverage while the full policy is being finalized for fire-related property risks.
